What really matters?

What thou lovest well remains,
the rest is dross
What thou lov'st well shall not be reft from thee
What thou lov'st well is thy true heritage
Whose world, or mine or theirs
or is it of none?
First came the seen, then thus the palpable
Elysium, though it were in the halls of hell,
What thou lovest well is thy true heritage
What thou lov'st well shall not be reft from thee
(EZRA POUND, PISAN CANTOS, LXXXI)
the rest is dross

Close, but what REALLY matters is that the dumb paperboy throw my daily journal in the driveway and NOT up underneath the @#%*$ car!

Does this mean I don't have to share my chocolate?

You can have my Elysium, Johnny. But I've gotta warn you, it's pretty impalpable.
