It seems to me to be about the world: how it is unstable, unreliable, and its material wealth is ultimately unsatisfying (hence "nothing is sound"). The sooner we wise up to the fact that this world will never make us truly happy (consider the fact that yuppies tend to be very materialistic), the sooner we can learn to make the most out of life, deal with suffering and annoyances when they come, and turn our focus to God where it should be.
