Man, are you serious?? Ok, look at it this way, if you are right now on your deathbed and you have to take serious toll of what you did right with your life and what you most regret (and MOST people don't regret the mistakes they made as much as regretting things they should have or wanted to do)...........
What would give you the most satisfaction by doing it? Sex? not without a deeper connection to the person you're having sex with.
Making money? Money's only value is what it can get you-and that would be THINGS or PEOPLE that don't value themselves. Helping people?Only if you're satisified with the person YOU are-otherwise you are of NO help to anyone else.
Maybe look at a little pride in the accomplishments you've made that bring you satisfaction, the children you have or may have, the friends you've had or may have.
This is a quote from someone way smarter than I am-but don't have a name to give credit to:
"Happiness is not in THINGS, it is in US"

Art. Duh. ;)
Really, don't you remember how you felt as a little kid in grade school, or maybe pre-school, coloring pictures or playing with glue and felt-board and construction paper of different colors *making* things that you thought were pretty and that you *knew* were all yours because *you* made them...?
Maybe you don't. Lots of schools can no longer afford the "luxuries" of art and music classes....
But it isn't too late to create. Write a poem....tell someone a story or a joke you made up on the spot. Learn how to paint, even if it is watercolor. Watch cartoons and appreciate them as *sequentially drawn art*. Get some Silly Putty (tm) or Play-Doh (tm) and pound the crap out of it until you have a sorta-ashtray-looking thing, then do it over again with some new stuff because it's cheap!
Let yourself make something small and humble in your own image. It doesn't have to be perfect, nothing ever is....but at least try to honor and respect that part of you, that lives in us all.

How about enjoyment? (dont mean sexual kind either) Do you ever read a book, daydream or jsut enjoy listening to the birds sing on a sunny sunday afternoon... life is beautiful ..this world is beautiful take the time t enjoy it, see the little things for the miracle they are. the old saying take time to smell the roses..apply it to everything in your life - someday you will be having kids and the first smile your first child gives you will warm your heart of hearts, the first time they laugh you will be lost in the momment - find activities you enjoy (again not sexual ones) and make the most of them, life is short life it up, love it more.

Nope. So if you pay money for sex, and it helps her out with her money problems, you can feel free to die.

My initial reply would be that love... is the single most important human feature and that greed, pride and ignorance can be defeated by the individual.

Actually, sex and helping people don't count.

Getting to see something different every day from your child. One smile a day from him is all I need to get by!
