Posterity Doctrine

Live your life in such a way
That if you were to die today,
When they give your stuff away
No one would need to stop and say,
"Whoa! What in the world is this doing here?"

Now, does that meant you're not allowed to own anything interesting, or just that people shouldn't be surprised to find out that, say, you have a secret stash of Transformers that you like to play with when no one is looking?

I dunno if I can quite get onboard with either of those interpretations!

I interpreted it more as a "Good Lord, how on earth did a dirty sock get in HERE?" kind of thing. Not as an indictment of people who own interesting/eccentric stuff.
