All 13 answers are very good. I have found in my life my greatest need or desire is to LOVE,my second is the need to be loved. In all your answers i see you are expressing the same thing only in different words and from slightly different viewpoints.

It would depend on the person and where they are in their life.
I have learned that money does not but happiness so that is not what I want. But there are a lot of people out there who do want money.
I have suffered from major health issues since I was 21 years old. I didn't have a normal live from the ages of 25 through 28 years old. I have recently been in and out of the hospital again while trying to raise 2 grandchildren. I have had to get 70 blood transfusions over the last 22 years and I don't know how many iron infusions I have had. No I don't have any cancers right now and no blood diseases but my body just can't seem to work right.
So my greatest desire would have to be good health without the worry of what is going wrong inside me.Good health is another thing that money can't buy.

i would say ACCEPTANCE because as we acquire anything and everything i believe, it is to be admired by some one and/or everyone else.
we compete, not to "keep up with the jones" but,to surpass. thereby keeping ourselves in the spotlight.
