What's more important in life than money?

[Deleted]

I guess its about balance.
You need to have money but you cant afford to work 24/7
You need to see your friends and maybe find love as human are social animals
You need to like the place where you live, you need to be ok with yourself

There was a ted talk about happines in israel and apparently the most happy persons there, were the preachers, no scheduled job, no salary but just offering from people.
But they had a respectable place in the community and a purpose for their lives.

I find that the longer people hope to live, the worse they actually spend their time living.

I don't have the money to do any living at all - that's the problem.

That's very VERY optimistic of you, especially given the socio-political climate of today's global 1st world society. We haven't cured blindness, cancer or aids yet and you think they're going to defeat mortality!?

Not saying it's impossible, but I think you're being VERY unreasonably optimistic. But hey, I guess somebody needs to be! ;P

Well I don't pay attention to mainstream news. I'm a technology guy, and pay attention to what is being worked on and what progress has been seen. I don't know about blindness, cause there's a lot of things that can cause blindness, but as far as I'm concerned we already have a cure for cancer but we're just testing the crap out of it first. Aids is also just around the corner cause there's been some success in that area. I'd give cancer 5 years before it's mostly cured, and AIDS another 7 years. The drugs given to AIDs patients is so good that they barely show up in viral tests.

There's always a monkeys paw to this sorta thing, cause nothing moves forward before it moves backwards a little, but the technology is there. Look at this dude who tool an anti-cancer drug and his hair turned from grey/white back to his youthful color. I think we'll have a cure for grey hair and even hairloss by the year 2020. And I don't mean hair dye and hair plugs either. There's too much to cover, but it's not a matter of if but when.

I don't play games of "might be" and Maybe."
And I don't play games with the one diametric that should never be played around to being with.
Death is inevitable. And it should be.

Then feel free to not take the drugs or procedures that reverse aging. I'll take the NAD+ while you wither and die, as it should be.

Hate to break it to you but you will likely die sooner than I.
But you keep that wishful thinking going! About as good as religion I'm sure.

We already know some things about grey hair formation, you can push it back with proper diet. B vitamins help a ton, also sufficient protein, other antioxidants. Vegans and vegetarians go grey quickly, as do people under stress...it's because stress impacts antioxidant damage and nutrient loss.

Umm...what made you automatically assume that I don't follow tech trends?? Sorry to kick you off your high-horse there bud, but I do. I'm actually quite the follower of scientific discoveries and the science community (China, btw, being way ahead of the United States in curing blindness - just an FYI) and have a watch on the primary science fields to make sure my world view stays towards the future. What makes you think that I'm JUST watching the "mainstream news"? Just because I've got some strong political opinions about Donnie Dump (assuming you're looking at my posting history/signature) doesn't mean I can't have a heartfelt respect and love for scientific discovery and technology! In fact, I'd argue that's probably half the reason WHY I protest against Donnie Dump! ;P

So, to that end, yes - I do follow scientific trends and tech feeds for them - and I don't see the things you're seeing. I see many studies, but I do NOT see any accurate calculations in regards to "curing" Cancer... AIDS does have some experimental treatments, but they have had them for a while now and I judge by results - NOT by announcements of testing or just rely on "positive results" from lab mice or control groups. That's always been the same thing reported for decades. This is especially true for cancer since there's a variety of different cancers out there that are treated very differently than each other. Some cancers, like pancreatic cancer, we can't even detect until it's already gone malignant and destroying the body.

o...looks like a 'bot to me.

I'm talking about immunotherapy and drugs that allow the immune system to attack cells that have PD-1, usually cancer cells. There has been some success using these therapies in people, and just a matter of time before it's perfected and put through clinical trials. Point is there are advancements in medicine, and eventually these will be cured. Time may not run out for some people. Time may eventually be a curse. Living for a long time can have mental ramifications though.

The things you buy with money.

[Dadwen]

Gotta go with "Time"
That will catch up and pass you faster than anything. And you could never buy more of that. And as it passes you can only wish you could.
Can't buy self-worth either. That only comes with self-knowledge and self-discipline, none of which is subject to mere money.

I thought about the time one, but with money you can buy "time" per say, people to do your work, clean up after you, cook for you etc etc giving you more time to just enjoy your time.

[Chingylol]

Health, easily.

I remember when I turned 18 and inherited some money my grampa left me. $12,000 which is ALOT for an 18 year old to have.. I felt on top of the world. The next few days I came down with shingles which SUCKED HORRIBLY. Wouldn't wish it on anyone. Didn't even care about the money then.

Also as others have said, "time". I'm in my 30's now and really really wish I was 10 years younger. Your reflexes start to go downhill in gaming.

Wait until your 50 and just simply run out of energy later in the day. (especially after my workout and jog routine)
Never understood the idea of a siesta until recently. The idea of a mid-afternoon nap all of a sudden made sense.

[TheFirstOnes]

The will to never give up in life, and to find success because of it.

Runner-up: Living. Living's more important than money.

Nationalism

[Sorrior]

To crush your enemies, see them driven before you, and to hear the lamentations of their women!

Damn.mglad i read it first but damn beat me to it

And lots if things such as love and family.

Nationalism

Is that why most national socialists are welfare queens?

feeling happy.

Indeed, n have a smile about life like this guy

[xenogear3]

Simple answer: Nothing

I would rather die than no money

[Kialys]

Happiness / well-being is obviously more important than money. If you think money is more important than that, why do you spend money at all apart from using it to barely stay alive? Just hoard it instead. Anything you do with money is only to the purpose of increasing your happiness.
