Would you rather.....?

Question

Would you rather be Adored; Cherished; Respected or Wanted. You can only pick one not all four, that's cheating! If you like you can put them in order of "importance". Why did you pick the one you did?

Would you rather be thought of by others as Intelligent; Wise or Knowledgeable? Again only one not all three. Why did you pick the one you did? Do you view them as being the different from each other or the same?

Answer 1

I would rather be respected. If you are respected, you could/might also be adored, cherished and wanted because of the respect. Respect carries with it a sense of more worth and importance. You can be adored, cherished and wanted for simple reasons, but respect is earned and valued.

I would rather be wise. If you are wise, then you can also be intelligent and knowledgeable. Intelligence is an ability, knowledge is a capacity, and wisdom is both. I hope that makes sense!

Great question! :)

Answer 2

Respected then cherished then adored then perhaps wanted
Things go a little into obsession towards the left hand side of this chart. I think mutual respect is an essential thing to have in any relation may it be personal, professional or within a family. Respect among people signifies high standards of morality and it creates wonderful atmosphere to build all sorts of good relations in life. The only thing that I sometimes find myself in want of is admiration; admiration is where respect and adoration meet to form ideal relations.
This is what I think … but I wish I am able to feel that way too all too often :)

If I have any expertise, knowledge, or know how of some useful sort then I would not bring that in the open for everyone to see, until I am sure that I am wise enough for the situation to be a good manager of my affaires and my qualities. The principle is that never show your expertise beyond the bounds of your personal management abilities. For when people see you as a bad manager of your life but loaded with useful skills then they are most likely to feel tempted to utilize for their purposes what you may have earned through a great deal of hard work, but when they realize that you are managing well in your life, that you are self aware and in good realization of what you have and how to use what you have then they are more likely to approach you negotiating instead of manipulatively.

I therefore would like to be known as wise, preferably non-admittingly.

Answer 3

I would rather be loved.

A long time ago I thought that love was something that you reserved for some special set of people that you had judged worthy of it.

After a while I got to thinking about what Jesus had said about turning the other cheek and loving our neighbor I put the two together and realized that he had made no exceptions in these statements. It became obvious to me that he intended that we exclude no one from the love that we are supposed to be giving. I started thinking about my idea of love and suddenly realized that I had not been loving anyone at all. I had simply been judging everyone and every thing.

Judging someone worthy of love is not love, it is only judgment. I actually started to cry when I realized this. I saw just how much of my life I had wasted being judgmental, thinking of myself as a Christian, when I was actually doing just the opposite of what Jesus had asked us to do.

I thought about the verse judge not lest ye be judged, and I understood it for the first time.

I realized that I have a lot of catching up to do. So many opportunities were wasted. I now try to apply the love that I have for the world in a universal way like Jesus asks us to do.

If I start to feel afraid and think that I see someone that I should not love because of something I have thought or heard I try to catch my mistake as soon as possible. I tell myself that I have forgot the truth and have fallen for the same old trick that had cost me so many opportunities to be loving in the past. The horror of this realization is often all that is necessary to bring me back to my senses and make me drop the judgmental nonsense I was thinking.

I still have a lot to learn about love, but at least I’m making progress.

Love and blessings

Answer 4

Hello,

(ANS) Wanted!! (if your NOT wanted thats devastating) for example:- the child they had together as a couple was loved & wanted.

**Whats the point of being respected if your not wanted in the first place?

**Adoration tends to be skin deep and frequently wears off quickly.

**Cherished is very similar to adoration and is usually not long lasting.

Part 2
Knowledgeable!!, because knowledge is born from direct life experience. And thus wisdom comes out of knowledge and intelligence increase as experience increases.

Answer 5

I would rather be cherished. I want to become a good leader among humanity. For that purpose, I need to have immeasurable virtues, practical life and of course, a good character. If somebody wants to follow me, let them cherish my ideas.
I would rather be a knowledgeable person. Intelligence is measured by your I.Q. Unless you act in a brilliant way, you will not be called a wise man. But you develop your knowledge and use it for the welfare of others, you sure, you are knowledgeable.

Answer 6

Cherished because if I am cherished adored, respected and wanted are already there.

Wise and again because if I am wise I am knowledgeable and intelligent.

Answer 7

I would rather be respected, mainly because it something you earned with your actions and the way you treat people. A person who is respected is also looked up to.

If I had to chose 1, I would say knowledgeable. The reason I say knowledgeable is because I feel it is a combination of intelligence and being wise.

Answer 8

I will use the process of elimination. I would not want to be wanted; because, if I am wanted I am not acquired yet. I would not want to be respected; because, someone who respected me would not want to treat me naughty. I would not want to be Cherished by a lover; I associate the word cherished with a paternal for of love. The only option left is Adornment. I would settle for adornment; although, I would would expect anyone who "adored" me would be a clingy individual. If I had the option to pick entwined I would have.

Answer 9

Unlike the small top contributor i dont think this is a great question;neverthe less it is a question that could be answered.Even so,i would say that if you took a poll and came up with the most popular answer;even this would be unsatisfactory to some people.In answer to THIS question(and one that is close to "viewing them as ...different from each other or the same?")i think that the first 3 have many similarities, but that "wanted" is fairly dissimilar to all the others.My own thought is that "wanted" has some greed in it (or it has some spare room for some greed in it).The other 3 dont.
My apologies for not answering all ur other questions posed.
Happy christmas and a happy new year to you.

Answer 10

for the first question i would rather be respected. you cant get any were with out being respected. people wont take you seriously. i am not one of those people are so juvenile as to need to be wanted. i know myself better than to need that. next in line would be cherished. with that you know that your cared for not just for looks or whatever but for smarts and stuff.

for the second one... first i thought of them as different. each one has its own characteristics.
secondly i would choose wise. wise suggests that you don't only know what your are talking about but also that you've lived it. you know from experiences. with wisdom comes age.
