The Parable of the Sandcastles

This is the first episode in the Patch Parables series, where we explore different spiritual parables and short stories and discuss the philosophical, moral, and spiritual ideas behind them.
Today's Parable explores a metaphor for us as a society and how we live our lives. We grow up, caring about our possessions, sometimes we share very little and safeguard all our belongings. But once our life is up, we pass away and leave it all behind. None of our possessions matter anymore. In the end, all material objects don’t matter, what really counts was the experiences that we had in the time we were given.
