No - there are 3 important things - money , sex and power. Power can bring u money n sex and money and sex can bring u power. A vicious if not important circle we should all live by.

A common misconception. Yes, the world certainly seems it is about these things on the superficial level, on the level of daily life and our often dream-like states of existence. But the actual truth is the world is not like that at all when you really dig deep into reality and look within yourself. Here, you find one thing: light. As humans disillusioned with existence, often not wanting to ask ourselves the only question that matters, we crave more and more experiences, more sex, more money, but in the end these all fade away and amount to nothing, often leading many to regret. Life is certainly about enjoying it, embracing it, but try not to live it: rather, let life live you. This is happiness and everything becomes known when this is done right. :)

I dont agree at all! And as to your extra bit about leaving God out of it - why should we? I mean God is very important to me, even if God isnt important to you.
Love is the most important thing, and as, in my opinion, God is love then that's my answer all wrapped up in one!
My family and God = Love.
Yes money is important, but it cant buy love, and yes i do like sex very much indeed thanks!

Money and sex are certainly promoted as though there is nothing else. However, is it not possible to be happy and successful without these things? I suppose it depends on your reason for living. I used to have neither, and I enjoyed a fair bit of success in other areas of life, for instance, friendship, employment, reputation, education.

No, certainly not.
For many people this is the shell like empty existence they have chosen. What sofa shall I buy? What colour should I wear this season? these are the inane questions these people ask themselves.
In fact the reason for living is to notice the beautiful things on the planet, the amazing coincidences we see everyday and finally trying to understand them and the lessons they are trying to teach us. Although maybe the lessons are about the best sofa and the colours of the season?................. i DOUBT IT.!

to certain people that is the case for them, unfortunately but not me. the only 3 important things in this world that mean more to me are my family, mates and people who do a lot of good for this world. as for money? i couldn't give a toss. it doesn't mean jack to me. even if i had a billion pounds, i still wouldn't be entirely happy with myself. besides, money can't buy you love or happiness- that only comes from experience, from within yourself and the people around you. you have to learn to love and respect yourself, in addition to those you care about

explain why this is in a philosophy section?
As for your question do i agree? No!
They are the 2 things which are out of control, reflects the general mind set i guess.
That plus the elementary, simple maths!
