As humans we all seek to fulfill one thing in our lives: happiness. What brings us this feeling can be categorized into a countable number of partitions. Pick the one that you desire the most.
Before you choose, please allow me to clarify the possible choices:
Wealth: includes hoarding/accumulating of any kind. Money, materials, property, etc. Power & Respect: includes fame, notoriety, recognition, popularity, amibition, superiority etc. Hedonism: Physical and mental pleasure via sex, drugs, love of another, lust, entertainment (from watching TV to exotic travel), fetishes, fantasy et al. Knowledge: Academic and general knowledge, including desire to obtain knowledge via book reading, studying, experiencing, and scholarship. Enlightenment: encompasses all spiritual and religious aspirations. Family: desire to create, maintain, or receive family love. Also includes friendship. Ignorance: a cavalier, carefree attitude that brings happiness. Happy just to wake up everyday, alive.

Wealth...
because then I can use it to buy power/respect, hedonism, and knowledge. Being a wealthy individual I'll naturally make my family happy, attract friends, and have the free time away from work to seek spiritual enlightenment, all the while basking in my own human ignorance.

I would have to say what I want most in this life is happiness, and to be free of the physical pain that consumes me. The pain is a very large part of why I am unhappy though. I also strive to be more knowledgeable and to find more enlightenment. I want to get deeper and deeper and find all the answers...
--------------------
The important thing is not to stop questioning. Curiosity has its own reason for existing. One cannot help but be in awe when he contemplates the mysteries of eternity, of life, of the marvelous structure of reality. It is enough if one tries merely to comprehend a little of this mystery every day. Never lose a holy curiosity. ~ Albert Einstein "Fear is the great barrier to human growth." ~ Dr. Robert Monroe ~~~*Dosis sola facit venenum*~~~ *Check my profile to listen to my music*

Enlightenment was tempting but looking at how I live my life I had to choose hedonism. If I can't admit that I don't see how I could ever be enlightened.

Hedonism for me because sex is like a drug just like shrooms or ganja for me but I also try to be enlightened and gain knowledge as time goes on.

Hedonism, if love is inclusive of that, that'll include family too..which I'd like one day. I don't understand anyone who'd pick anything else to be honest.

I picked family, but not because I particularly love or desire my genetic ties. I picked it cuz strong, giving connections with other people provides Happiness, whereas Money, Power,even (especially?) Knowledge do not. Even Hedonism, if done alone for years, becomes a drag, believe me.
-------------------- 'Pain is meant to wake us up. People try to hide their pain. But they're wrong. Pain is something to carry, like a radio. You feel your strength in the experience of pain. It's all in how you carry it. That's what matters. Pain is a feeling. Your feelings are a part of you. Your own reality. If you feel ashamed of them, and hide them, you're letting society destroy your reality. You should stand up for your right to feel your pain and leave the Shroomery.' ~ Jim Morrison

ignorance, but i dont liek your choice of that word i would put just plain old love on the list. Love of life, love of man, love of God. I dont wish to accomplish anything with my Religion so Elightenment didnt fit. I just want to feel LOVE. peace

I chose ignorance.
Ignorance: a cavalier, carefree attitude that brings happiness. Happy just to wake up everyday, alive.
That sounds so awesome. I know rich people, people with sex and drugs, people with power... so few of these people are happy. Their happiness is unseated by their insatiable desires.
I want to maintain my sense of 'happy' through all the perils of life. If that's ignorance, then I wish I had it.

i choose love and family, which may or may not be on the list.you can't replace family , you can't replace true love either - but you can always make money - money doesnt buy love, but it will buy you a a hot piece of ass - but after your money runs out you are left w/ your dick in your hand !
