Immortality. To Wish for wealth would create envy and jealousy of a large quantity, and if you can live forever you can still obtain those riches. Love, sure you might find "the one" but what if you werent theirs? oh well the wish seals it, true love should work itself out. Immortality however, I could spend my entire life on my own terms and at my own speed.
I pick love. Sure, immortality would be nice, but everyone around me would die. Also eventually I'd want to die. Living to long would be more of a curse then a gift. Wealth, sure I'd be happy I guess, but at what cost. I feel sad or alone and buy something new. I'd have a appreciation for anything, since I could just throw money at it. So that leaves me with love. I don't see a downside to it.
None If I have friends in my life I am set for the remainder of it. Immortality means that I would live forever but I would watch my friends and family die and forever be alone. Wealth and Love are the two that I almost want the most, but we will see.
hmmmm this is interesting, i guess i would do the same and go with immortality im so jaded by bad relationships and idk if ill ever meet my equal so i would rather live a life of solitude then go through such hardship as well as money... it drives others insane, its the main reason people are so corrupted in this world like war, starvation, crime, ect... i just want to be able to live in peace and enjoy life and all its values, whether it be alone or with the ones i care about it doesnt matter to me
Immortality....tempting...very tempting. However, I will not choose any of them. It'll be much more fun looking for the Fountain of Youth or a Lazarus Pit anyway.
This message emanates temporal energies: None. I enjoy having to persevere. To fight for everything I own now. That, I'd never change.
Immortality, so I have more time to educate myself and make a living in the most enjoyable way possible.
Immortality sounds nice, apart from the fact that when everyone you love, friends, family, etc. die... Eventually, your left alone in the world. And that would get plain boring, lol... Don't think I'd go with this. I'll be honest, Iv'e never properly been in love, and right now, Im not too bothered about it. I probably don't really need to have it bound to me till death... Wealth... im unsure about this. I mean, Unlimited wealth? You could save the world with this, helping the poor etc.,but... it would seem selfish if you gave yourself unlimited moneys whilst everyone else is struggling. I don't think id abuse my wealth, though, that really would be selfish. But then there is a saying about how money corrupts people... And I kinda believe it. The option to go with nothing... Im not sure i really need any of this anyway, so i might just go with nothing. yay!
And also the incredible sensation of loneliness when everyone you know and love dies around you, powerless to stop it. I, myself, would choose love. Nobody deserves to be alone in life, whether with friends or with love, unless they so ask for it. Wealth may give you love, but is it genuine? No. If I were to choose wealth, I'd just give it to those who needed it. With money comes power, and with power comes corruption. This corruption is the bane of society. Immortality is a false hope. With Immortality comes extreme depression at the passing of friends, family, and loved ones. Sure, you may get used to it eventually. But what happens when the inevitable extinction of the Human Race occurs? What happens when you are all alone, no way to die? Would you truly accept your fate, all alone, with nobody to cherish, no purpose in life? I, for one, would not.
Pretty much what Saiko said. Wealth corrupts. And infinite wealth could corrupt anyone into a mindless monstrosity, with no purpose in life at all. Immortality would be my worst nightmare. We are beings designed to run a limited course, and we all have to catch our 'bedtime' sooner or later. When we don't, I imagine one would only get more and more tired with life on Earth. Horrible, and unnatural. So, that leaves love. Love is a good thing, because you can share it.
It's called greed, and most of us here have it in quite a large quantity, me included. Love wouldn't be right for me, as I like the feeling of having multiple people to talk to, not just one.
Does anyone remember the Twilight Zone? In one episode, a man became immortal. He killed his wife because she complained too much and was sent to the electric chair. When he didn't die, they gave him life in prison. The devil then came and killed him to save him from an eternity of jail time. In yet another episode a man bought a love potion at a store for only a dollar. He gave it to the woman he loved, and she became so obsessed he realized she was no longer the woman he was in love with. He went back to the shop to buy the anti-love potion, but it was priced at a million dollars. Moral of the story: Wealth can buy popularity, organs in the black market and endless pony merchandise, so clearly it can't go wrong. -JoninFoxNinja
Immortality. I'm the youngest of my friends and family. One day everyone around me will die and I will live on, so the loneliness is inevitable for me whether or not I'm immortal. Unless of course I get hit by a bus. Besides that, the reason I chose immortality is because I've always felt the need to rush, to get things done. I've always felt the need to meet deadlines, reach goals and get things done before there is no time left. Immortality removes that feeling and the anxiety it causes. I'd have all the time in the world to perfect whatever skill I wished, to learn whatever subject I wanted, to accumulate wealth, to find love, and to maybe find my path in life and find my special talent before I die. As it stands I don't know if I ever will be able to do any of that before the sand in the hourglass runs out. Besides, there are many countries in the world, many people, places and things, and all of those are constantly changing. You'd always have something to keep yourself busy.
Love hands down. Immortality would be nice but what after everyone you know dies? Wealth? As much as i would like to have some i say no. Yes money can buy happiness and friends and fame but once the money is gone then they are too. Love between entities lasts throughout time with the same energy/bang as the universe and its the closest thing to being immortal.
Immortality. I'm not too fond of the concept of 'love', and wouldn't mind watching everypony around me die. (After all, chances are I'm going to watch plenty of family and friends pass before I go) I'm atheist, so I don't believe an afterlife, the only way to give myself a personal sense of meaning would be to live forever, where I can do as I wish and watch the world and technology unfold. Wealth can be attained, and even so, it's not entirely necessary if I'm immortal. For some reason, people seem to be under the assumption that you'll never make any friends after your present friends die. When you're immortal, you kinda get used to the deaths of others.
