Would you rather if given the oppotunity:

1. Go to work as normal for the rest of your working life. (Nothing changes).

2. Spend all day, every day with your wife/husband/significant other and children and friends. Your family would be with you almost all the time.

Remeber that once this choice is made it can not be changed latter down the track.

If you wouldn't want to spend the rest of your life (as in all your time) with your family, do you love them, and why would you want to spend time apart from them?

Serious answers only please.

Thanks.

I think I would choose Love or Forgiveness... or find a way to combine the two.

The age old saying "Money makes the world go round" is a sarcastic remark about how people put so much relevence on money. Money at the end of the day means nothing, it will not prolong your life and not prevent your death. It will not provide a better quality of life only a greater quantity of things in it.

So my question is if money doesn't make the world go round what does? If money is not worth the paper it is printed on why persue it?

Please do not answer with a short phrase, instead please explain your answers.

Thanks.

If by "nothing," we mean that which has no being or is a metaphysical absence, then how could anyone know "nothing"? Maybe the Platonic concept of meontic nothingness might be knowable. But "nothing" in the sense of "no-thing" seems logically impossible to know.

Death is related to self-identification, something humans, with our very advanced brains, have moreso than any other being. Chimps and other primates close to us can only recognize themself in a mirror, unlike any other animal; but they cannot recognize, when they witness the death of another being, that they will someday die themself. But, we can. Is our advanced knowledge of our inevitable coming death what makes us capable, and is it not the best way to, self-realization?

If it helps my topic is: Assuming college's sole purpose is to prepare you for a bright future how effective is it in doing so. In other words does attending college really guarantee a successful future? I am arguing that it doesnt simply because there a re plenty of people who does not posses a degree yet still are successful, there are people who has a degree yet aren't successful, and I currently have completed a year of college and I don't feel any more prepare for my future and I have taken a lot of courses geared towards my major

Be serious about this OK. I'm sick of people posting random and stupid stuff as answers just so they can get points...like it means something. Yahoo answers is not about getting points...it's about exchanging helpful dialogue and broadening your mind. So please...be serious...and be as detailed as you can. What is the meaning of life?

Our fingerprints, iris or retina scan are something considered to be uniquely owned by a human being. The intereference of public sphere (which initially had to only with the figure of "person", public persona, that is political body) into our body is becoming more and more visible today and to mention even crucial in the age of international crime and growing intolerance. On one hand we left with our security and on the other we are deprived everyday little by little what is left of our precious physical existence.
I don't expect your answers to be in line with overly scrutinized academical staff like biopolitcs or scaredness of biological being, researched by Foucault and everybosy else. Only your opinion that counts

I thought that maybe everybody was rich with big houses and cars and we didn't have to work and we were all born to be intelligent like Einstein and we were all famous that we knew each other, plants can grow from soda, and the rain would be black tasting like lemonade, the sun would be solid gold, and the sky would be purple and the clouds would be baby blue, nobody would feel any pain, there would be no such thing as cheating or violence, nobody would die, our world can be the biggest planet on the galaxy, everybody is happy, no such thing as having a nightmare or being scared. I have more, but I want to read about your imagination on how this world would be if you had a chance to control it?
