Wealth. I define wealth as the ability to maintain my current standard of living, indefinetly, without the need to work. With all that spare time I will be able to find all the rest.

I'll take power - I dont expect to be lucky in love twice, and the rest is just frills for what really matters.

Love. With any of the other three, there is the intrinsic possibility of being alone, and that is one thing I never want ti have to experience on an extreme scale. Love at least inherently includes another person(s).

Well, I have found love, and money won't make me particularly happy. Fame just creates lonliness and heartbreak, and power corrupts.

I would also have to go with love. Money doesn't interest me other than as a necessary item for survival in society. Fame brings its own downside, in not being able to have privacy. Power is something I don't want, since power and responsibility need to maintain a balance, and I don't feel I'm wise enough to be responsible for important things.

Power!
But only if it was a Super-power of some kind, and not somthing lame and wimpy like ESP or x-ray vison... Bring on those Eye Beams!

Wealth. I don't need to take over the world. I'm not greedy. As long as I have my solid gold house, my rocket-car, my billions of dollars, and my health, then I'm happy.

Love. I think it doesn't have to be restricted to the hugs and kisses stuff either. After all, if you love what you do, then you will be successful at it. Money and that other stuff is a fringe benefit.

Re: what would you want
I would have to choose wealth. I've found love to be painful and temperamental. I also probably wouldn't know love if it came and bit me on the ass. But wealth, wealth is tangible. You can't survive without money in this world. (Especially as money buys you food and pays for your water bill.) With judiciously applied wealth, I could have power. And if I really wanted love, wealth would be incredibly useful in the search.Enforcer Talen wrote:of these, what would you want most?
