Poll: What are you looking for in life?

[Loop Stricken]

I was going to say:

To Crush my enemies, see them driven before me, to hear the lamentation of their women!

... but I thought it was too obvious, and hundreds will no doubt have come before me.

So now I'll just say love. If I can find that and one of the others comes along? Bonus!
if I can't then I doubt I'll ever truly be happy. Now excuse me whilst I go fetch my emo blade.

 

[Astoria]

No idea really. I just want to enjoy it to full and I'll decide later on.

 

[bulbasaur765]

I'm looking for Self-Actualization and a caring companion to endure life with.

 

[Shoggoth2588]

I've found my soulmate so at the moment it's money that I need. Ultimately though, I want an AVGN sized collection of games spanning from the Atari (if not earlier) to this current generation. If the next generation of consoles is disc-based and, allows offline play then I may go after those too but once everything goes all digital/ online only, that's when I'm giving up on new/ modern games.

 

[Canadamus Prime]

Love. I'm noticing a distinct lack there of to be found in this world.

EDIT: Also, a reason to keep trudging through it.

In high school, I discovered that I was a Neutralist (someone who does not permanently choose sides, doesn't go behind certain labels, does not believe in black-and-white ideals, and generally hangout with everyone, regardless of clicks or groups). From then on, I learn a lot from all the individuals that I hanged out with: music, movies, ideals, struggles, fears, conflicts, political and religious views, etc.

I want to learn about all I can; specifically what interests me and what I consider to be important.

Knowledge is power; with understanding, comes peace and love; those with smarts get the big bucks; to be forever immortalized by what you learned and accomplished.

 

[Sir Thomas Sean Connery]

Knowledge.

Out of great knowledge comes money. Out of money comes power. Out of power comes fame.

Four for the price of one.

 

[SSoSFAGTiaCaGwaP]

I can't believe happiness isn't on here. I guess if it was, then everyone would pick it.

 

[crudus]

I will take knowledge. Money is a close second with love a close third. Fame is a far fourth.

I am an asshole. I do not hide this.

I can't believe happiness isn't on here. I guess if it was, then everyone would pick it.

That doesn't really answer anything though. If that is asked and people say "happiness", no real information is exchanged; we would just be wasting oxygen. Another way to phrase the OP is "What would make you the happiest in life"? I doubt any of us are looking for unhappiness.

 

[OniYouji]

Love, both physical and emotional, as well as fame and money in my small circle.

 

[Darius Brogan]

I answered 'Other'

I'm looking for Immortality... not because I'm particularly afraid to die, but because I could do everything on that list... a million times over, and a million times again, but differently every time.

 

[OptimisticPessimist]

Insane steampunk wasteland fantasy.

Short of that, I'll settle for sex. Lots of it.

 

[fenrizz]

Family (love), knowledge, money.

In that order.

 

[Tilted_Logic]

Knowledge.

For no matter how lonely I become, no matter how poor I may be;

I can always look to the stars in wonder,

and know that I am not alone;

that the universe offers more riches than any treasure trove of gold.

if only I open my mind to it.

 

[Zulor]

Other; Happiness.

 

[crudus]

I'm looking for Self-Actualization and a caring companion to endure life with.

I don't think that is something you look for. In fact I am damn sure you don't look for that.

Spoiler: You sir, earned this

 

[manic_depressive13]

A way out.

 

[willingdruid]

Live fast. Die.

 

[aescuder]

FUN

 

[Stammer]

I chose "Power" on the poll. And I don't mean in any kind of oppressive way. I just mean I want to have shaped the world. I don't want my life to have been lived as an utter waste. As long as my life had some kind of positive impact on the human race I'll die happy.
