Everyman-Spiritual Gain/Material Gain

Everyman was a great story in  my opinion because it represented two sides that will forever be a conflict in today's society. People choose to either follow God and gain spiritual possessions or people fall into the "materialistic" culture. Many people say they do in fact want to go to Heaven when they die but that they just don't feel they are ready yet because they may not want to leave family, friends, material goods, etc. In the story Everyman did in fact try to persuade Death to give him more time because as I said, he didn't feel he was quite ready. People need to wake up and realize that when death comes knocking, time is up and they have either lived their life to the fullest and done unto others in a positive manner or they have completely wasted their time on Earth and lived a negative lifestyle. Death goes on to tell Everyman how he must give an account of his life. Considering that he apparently had goods and did not share them with those in need, should in fact make Everyman feel shameful and completely embarassed. People don't realize what they truly have until it is either taken from them or they step back and see all that they have in comparison with someone who has absolutely nothing. People are allowed to have materials, it's just one shouldn't become obsessed with them and live in a greedy way. If you work hard for something then people should most definately feel a sense of accomplishment and reward themselves for their hardwork. There are some people though who go above and beyond selfishness and may even become overwhelmed with all that they have obtained. When things begin to come easy to people, they misunderstand and completely disregard the idea of being grateful for things. People who have nothing are extremely grateful for the smallest of things because when you have nothing all you want is something!
