What is the theme of the Great Carbuncle story?

The theme of the Great Carbuncle is that earthly possessions are not essential in life. Earthly possessions are not necessary for success and we should be satisfied with what we have. Earthly possessions will not gain you salvation either. You must put your trust in God and that His Son saved you from your sin and that the Holy Spirit will work in your heart so that you will be worthy of salvation. Matthew 6: 19-2119 "Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moths and vermin destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. 20 But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moths and vermin do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal. 21 For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also."
