The Buddha's message is all about nibbāna. As for everything else, you use distinctions between what helps you get to nibbāna and what gets in the way.

"All too often we see the Buddha’s message reduced to a few sound-bytes. “It’s all about change. All about accepting change. All about acceptance. All about equanimity.” That’s not the case. If it’s all about anything, it’s all about nibbāna . As for everything else, you use distinctions between what helps you get to nibbāna and what gets in the way." ~ Thanissaro Bhikkhu "Twigs & Branches"
