Whats the most important to have; Knowledge, Wealth or Beauty. I’m undecided sicne i thoguht of all of them and each one leads to the others some way or another!
It doesn’t matter in the end, they all fade. But I guess if you’re one of those people who believe in the afterlife, you cant take wealth or beauty with you, now can you?
Well, beauty is relative, isn’t it? But then, I feel, so are all values.
i would think that a grilled egg cheese and ham sandwhich is better than all three combined. you can wish and strive all your life for knowledge, wealth, and beauty and never reach them. with the sandwhich i could go home and make one right now. At least i would have reached my goal.
and upon finishing my goal i could go off to a quiet room in the house and kill myself, for obtaining my ultimate prize i would see no reason to continue. …mmmmmmmmmm…deadly grilled cheese.
anyhow its better not to obtain the three that you mentioned:
knowledge will bring remorse.
wealth will bring pompousness.
and beauty will bring conciet.
Id take wealth, so I can buy my some grilled cheese. With wealth, Id buy many grilled cheese sandwiches.
Wealth all the way, that way I could stock up on jars of gherkins which is enough to put a smile on my face.
Closely followed by knowledge, since with it comes beauty and in that sense I don’t see how either would fade out, instead I’d imagine knowledge grows. It also seems to have an intrinsic value which wealth lacks.
Hm, this post isn’t as constructive as originally intended…
Beauty rots in a grave. Wealth is passed on to your investors, and knowledge sticks with you. I feel that, even beyond physical death, knowledge isn’t something stuck in your brain. We know so little of our own bodies, and the universe in question.
I would say knowledge is what you should shoot for. If anything else, you’ll know how to get that sandwitch.
