Are we too engrossed in this material world?

The death of my mother makes me wonder what is it like to die?We left everything behind,cash,career,family,house,car.
All that we pursue in life comes to nothing?What is the meaning of this life?God create us to make this world ticks is it?1 less person also does not makes a different.You talk about wanting to change the world,wanting to make friends,wanting to make enemies your friend,wanting to make 2 different group of people divided,separated by a invisible line.

Has it comes to a point in time where the rules & regulations need to be revised?
