All of us want plenty of things and but hardly life can provide you with all you want, and as an economist we must make a rational choice out of scarce resource.
Love
Life
Liberty
Pursuit of Happiness

“Those who seek to satisfy the mind of man by hampering it with ceremonies and music and affecting charity and devotion have lost their original nature””
“If water derives lucidity from stillness, how much more the faculties of the mind! The mind of the sage, being in repose, becomes the mirror of the universe, the speculum of all creation.
I voted Life!
The joy is in the journey...
"The time has come," the Walrus said,
"To talk of many things:
Of shoes--and ships--and sealing-wax--
Of cabbages--and kings--
And why the sea is boiling hot--
And whether pigs have wings."
Very good topic, Isidro!
Liberty, without it we cannot pursue any of our other needs and desires. We take our freedom to talk on this website, find friends, love who we wish as something that comes naturally; yet it is something that people die for everyday.
I voted Love since you didn't have the option of "Retire" on here.

Life is a giver and of course a generous giver and all I may ask from life is a very lively and vital life

I want those little moments of joy. They are preferable to a plastic life of endless happiness.
"My God, a whole moment of happiness! Is that too little for the whole of a man's life?" - Dostoyevsky
The Moments of Dominion
That happen on the Soul
And leave it with a Discontent
Too exquisite — to tell —

Ah, the original poster has gone; but the thread and question lives on...
Well, right now I want someone to fold my laundry! A nice young masseuse would be good to give me a massage...I wonder if that falls under love.
Then, money to pay the masseuse and get rid of my rickety car...or fix it up...
Then the freedom to carry a machine gun to the grocery store; just to see the looks on people faces...excuse me miss, do you have any bavarian cream yogurt...
Yes, nobody quite like Isy...though, I haven't had quite as many of those highway assault nightmares in the last 6 months
A machine gun for soundos, and a thug to give her a hand:
I want life to give me what I want instead of what it wants to give according to its whims of the moment
I wouldn't mind having an herb garden one day. Besides that, I just want to learn about stuff and have David stay alive for as long as possible (hopefully even longer than me).

I want a few things:
To be happy (i generally am)
To have my book become well-known, and have more published
To have good friends
I think that is all
