"We are born in this world with nothing and we leave this world with nothing"

I'm sure you've heard this quote.

Well. I say it's nihilistic in numbers, a assumption about the importance of existing. It's not true we are all born with nothing (You have a body don't you?) However we all leave without a body (So that part of the quote is true)

Side note: That quote might not have originated from the Bible.

But yet. Some are born into a privileged life of wealth and some are born into absolute poverty. So I'm asking myself, is the quote referring to everyone being born without something else (non material) Because how could that quote have any meaning behind it without the idea of material possession being attached to it?

“That’s the whole story. Here now is my final conclusion: Fear God and obey his commands., for this is everyone’s duty. God will judge us for everything we do, including every secret thing, whether good or bad.”

(Ecclesiastes 12:13-14, NLT)
