I try it to make it universal as possible. I hope the opinions that are given would be enough to satisfied my stomach tonight as well as my mind.

I will go first, love, truth, life, wisdom, power, virtue and everything that I have not yet mention are the greatest. But what is the greatest of all greatest, and give a reason such a claim.

Hmmm what is that one greatest of all greatest? :unamused: I havenā€™t decide yet, I will do so later, but for now please play my game. it 25 cents free.

order, purpose, control

but Iā€™d take total freedom instead.

ā€œGreatestā€?

In whoā€™s eyes?

I think health and sustainability are best.
Glory isnā€™t so great if it only lasts a few years, and then its memory tempts the dubbed ā€œlessersā€.

I am glad you decided to play but you did not played fully. There is no reason why you choose what you choose. Nor picked only one. Or maybe I havenā€™t noticed it.

I believe the greatest of all greatest is realization.
Because, without out it there is no meaning for anything. No dreams, no wisdom, no life.

The greatest is those that you love. Is a why really needed here?

There is meaning to these, have I missed the boat.

The greatest is Love

Can you tell me why love would be the greatest of all greatest?
Even though I know it is great. but why greatest?

I chosen realization because how would you know something if you donā€™t realize it. Realization well at least to the highest realization, is some sort of highest universal logic. Well I could add more if you want to hear more.

But that is my opinion anyway, not to prove anything. :slight_smile:

I think the bible says the greatest is love. Iā€™d choose 2: LOVE and SERVICE. If we reawaken the sense of love in every heart of man, and follow the golden rule then maybe people can experience their kingdom of heaven.

Just because the bible said so, It is not a reason, it is blind reason as Cicero would say. Cicero said, " the people of chrisitianity canā€™t explain anything but just quote from the bible or said that the master said so"

art. One can extrapulate love, hate, fear, you name it, from art.
