I would like to think it may be a fundamental truth of the human condition, formalized/written in different times and places. The Stoics had it too, and that's pre-Christian. I suspect some Christians during the first two millenia of Christianity had it too, I don't think it's incompatible with Christianity (or "faith"!) of all historical sorts, but don't know enough about the history to say.

(Update: Googling, some suggest Jesuit spirituality as being a Christian philosophy focused on non-attachment... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ignatian_spirituality)
