What does man love more than life, Fear more than death or mortal strife, What the poor have, the rich require, And what contented men desire, What misers spend, and spendthrifts save, And all men carry to the grave?

Well, it depends and it is relative.
As for me what I deer more than life, and what I fear more than death... that I may loose it...What the poor have because they are the 'have-not'..and it is all that is left...so they grip fast on it, and the rich may not because they are the 'have' ...therefore they care not...foolish, they are! the misers spend it though...what a waste!...but the spendthrifts keep their hands open to save it...what is left for Man to carry the lack or the non-lack thereof to his grave, in my mind, is:
DIGNITY.

A man loves his "LOVE" more than his life,
Fears the separation of his "LOVE" more than death,
The poor have satisfaction of "HEART",
The rich require these,
The misers spend "Time",
The spendthrifts save this the most.
All men carry their "Dead-Bodies" to the grave.
The "SOUL" lives on for all eternity.................

Hello...I love this type of riddle!
At first glance it looks as though the answer would be money...but then you get "misers spend, spendthrifts save"...well, obviously NOT money.
Hmm...lets see...is it time? no, can't be....
could it be respect?

why don't you try talking in real english instead of showing off with phrases that don't really mean anything...then maybe you'll get an answer that means something instead of all this b*sh*t people telling you to be a christian and how god is the light...have you ever noticed how defensive christians are!?? what is with them!! fraudeulent hypocrites
