Life Choices
To be clear . . .
Choose TWO to the EXCLUSION of the others.
It’s cheating to say: “I choose Money because with money I could do a lot of good.”
That’s choosing Money and Service.
You can choose Money and Service, to be sure, but if you do,
you must EXCLUDE Love and Fame.
CHOOSE TWO. RENOUNCE THE OTHERS.
FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIFE. AND SAY WHY.

I would choose Money and Love, since when referring to Money I would say its asking for stability in life and Love would be Happiness. The two simplest things anyone would want in Life in my opinion.
I would choose money and love. Money because as a college student I could always use some for now and future endeavors. Love because I want someone in my life I can be close with and share experiences. Why I renounce the others: what would fame do for me except make me have a bunch of people who liked me as well as disliked me. My anxiety says no to that one. Service, while morally I should have chosen that one sometimes I am selfish and choose for myself due to not choosing for myself throughout my whole life, it is finally time I do so.
My choice would be love and money, there’s no question in my mind. I don’t see a point in the other two options when the two I selected, gets as close as to guaranteeing your general happiness and well-being.
I would choose money and love because I can be happy and prosperous.
I’ll be taking the money and love. It is what I have been working towards. Fame I could care less about, it just makes you a target in the modern era, and people with money prefer to stay off the radar so they can keep their money. Service I thought about, but I already serve every day via everyday stuff. I go out of my way to make people’s day, without it being a big deal. I’m over the whole boy scout thing, but I believe it good for society, so I do it. I was told excellence and selflessness was its own reward. It aint. I guess if it comes with a hug or thank you, it can be a little better, feeling good in the feels; but then again is that really selfless service if you are doing for the reactions? I’ll take the love and money to go “live my best life” as some people say they have already done.
I choose love and money, I do not want fame and I do not have the energy to give my life to service. A combination of love and money would create a life of peace for me, having love and never having to work a job is all anyone would need to be happy.
I chose Love and Service:-
Love provides life its ultimate significance by fostering human connection and emotional joy. Love offers joy, support, and purpose to people, whether they be family, friends, or partners.
Service allows me to have a positive impact on the lives of others while also finding purpose in contributing to the larger good. Serving others provides life focus and fulfillment that extends beyond personal advantages.
Fame is temporary and frequently comes with undue stress and scrutiny. I prefer a life centered on genuine relationships than public notoriety.
Money, while useful, is not my primary motivation. True fulfillment stems from giving and caring, not monetary prosperity.
If I only had the choice of two, I would choose love and money. I would like to choose love and service, but having any source of income is important in living a life where I am not worried if and when I am able to have the things I need to survive, such as food and a home.
I’d choose Love and money. I know that my intentions with those choices are most definitely selfish, but I think having those two things over the others would satisfy me and allow me to feel free. Money is something I’ve watched my family chase for their whole lives, and not feeling a financial burden is something I want to experience. Fame isn’t something that interests me honestly and I feel that it would overwhelm me having to live with that for the rest of my life, and while service is inherently a good thing of course, if the option to live out one of my biggest dreams is put in front of me like this it would be almost impossible to pass it up. As for my other choice being love, I don’t feel that my life would be as fulfilling without it personally.
I would choose love and money excluding fame and service. I don’t desire fame at all because when someone is famous, they are placed under a spotlight where all of their choices and what they do with their life is judged by others. The only thing good about fame would be the money and since money is not included in fame, I choose money so I can do whatever I want with that money. I also choose love over service. Service may feel like it gives you a purpose in life, to help others, but with love that person becomes your purpose and building a life for your future family will bring happiness too ( especially since I chose money too).
I would choose money and love. First, I chose love because it comes with no cost and it is an act on itself. I also chose money because although it doesn’t say I would be “rich,” having income is necessary for surviving any lifestyle. I believe money and love support basic human needs.
I would choose love and money. I will choose love because it will lead to my main happiness in life. I want someone in my life that I can experience things with and be close to to share secrets with. I will choose money because it will help satisfy all the financial problems I have now from college and help to keep me stable in my future life. I would renounce fame because I don’t find how being famous can solve any problems. There are many downsides to becoming famous like the paparazzi and constantly not having time for yourself. Although service is also another good button to choose, it is easier to choose myself, instead of helping others. Selfishness becomes a huge side effect in my case. I rather know that I’m okay and safe in my financials and love life than worry about others.
I would choose money and love. I would renounce fame and service. I don’t have any desire to have fame since it comes with negative and positive effects, and I believe love can be just as giving as service is. Money would give me comfort in life, and love would give me happiness and appreciation.
I would choose Fame and Money, with fame I can become a famous actor and act in some of my favorite shows, it has always been my dream to become an actor. And I would choose money as my second option because, money can be very useful for valid situations, such as traveling, buying nice homes, and providing some money to family that are in need of it.
I would choose Love and Money. The selfish choice to be sure, but I cannot fathom the scrutiny that fame would bring, with the comb that my entire life would be subject to. I just can’t find a solution to which fame would be good for a regular person with a normal personality matrix. Service is something that is altruistic, something that I can do to make the world a better place, but I find that it would be above my own ambition to try and solve a world problem with a plethora of wealth. I can only find the benefit of definite stability and certainty that money would bring me, and the fulfillment and purpose love gives.
I would choose money and fame because I dont really need anything else.
As nice as it would be, to be fully and wholly selfish and choose love and money. Have a wonderful life with someone who loves me, living comfortably with wealth to pass down to children so that they may choose to do some good in the world. Something feels off about that choice, you know? It’s not a bad choice by any means, however it feels wrong to think only of myself if these things are guaranteed to happen. Fame and Service you could do a lot with all things considered, a huge following of people who adore you, hang on your every word, and the ability to do great deeds for the world yourself, you effectively replicate whatever you do a thousand times over. There’s a middle ground I would like, giving my gut time to settle upon an answer. Love and Service. I get what I’ve frankly always dreamed of, a love of my life and a family, while also finding ways to impact the world in positive ways that will be felt for generations to come. The whole plant a tree so your grandkids grandkids can sit under it, sort of deal. So that would be my answer, the best of both worlds. It might not be a comfortable as with money, or as easy as with fame, but it’d be rough, it’d be beautiful, and it would matter.
I would choose love and money. I would not choose fame if I could press all four. So for me, the choice is really two out of three. I’d love to be able to do good in the world but at the end of the day I would just like to be happy so I would choose the options that do that for me. Love and money are the two that would have the biggest impact on me so I would have to choose them. Fame is an easy no. Service is a no but a much more difficult one.
If I could only choose two of the four, they would be love and money. Love is the most important thing to me, because I know it would be the biggest source of my happiness and fulfillment. I do not care at all about fame. I would love to choose service, but I feel like I am not the right person for that. As much as I want to help people, I don’t have the resources or the voice to actually make any sort of difference. Money would allow me to lay the foundation for the rest of my life and for my future children to have everything they need, and their happiness is important to me. Also I have a shopping addiction. Hopefully the people who need service get asked this question as well and they choose money.
I would choose money and love. Personally, I never cared for fame that was the easiest option to eliminate. It was hard to pick between service and money but even though I would like to do good in the world, I would prefer to have financial stability. However, love was by far the easiest one to choose. I can’t imagine living a full life without being able to experience love whether it be more than once throughout my lifespan. In my mind there needs to be a balance, so picking money and love seems like a good way to balance out my life.
I would choose love and service over the other two because fame is overrated and you lose any resemblance of privacy, as for money it is not necessary to have absurd amounts of it to be happy in life
Life choices exercise: I would choose love and money. Love because I can be surrounded by those who love me whether its relationships or family. I could also help my family and those who love me with money. Such as repaying my parents for everything they’ve done or given me. I would choose money because I would be able to buy what I want such as a nice house, pay off my college loans, pay off my family’s debt etc. I would renounce the others because Im not really that interested in fame. Im aware that with fame comes invasion of privacy and security issues and I just don’t want to deal with that. I renounce service because although I would love to help those in need, I have to put my family and my life first.
I would choose money and love. Love I would choose because love is something you cannot buy and it is genuine. Being surrounded by people who love you gives you a comfort in life that nothing else, not even money, can give you. It gives you a special relationship between your friends and family. I choose money because I desire to live comfortably. Buying a house, being able to provide for my family without any stress or issues, taking care of my parents, treating myself every once in a while, etc. Also being able to give back to my community and help my community become a better one.
I would also chose money and love. I’m not rich, nor do I come from any sort of well off family, so having money would be beneficial. I could pay for college stress free, buy a car, a house, etc. There would be a lot of pressure lifted off of my shoulders. I’m not sure if providing for my family would count as service, but I would provide for my family with the money no doubt. I’d also choose love as that is something the soul craves, and to be without it would be crushing. Or at least I think so. Love is apart of what makes us human, so I couldn’t forgo that.
I would choose money and love. There is no reality that I do not choose the money option, as I believe that I could use money to solve many of my problems and thus, make myself happy. I would choose love because, frankly, I do not care for the other options, and it would be nice to share my hypothetical wealth with someone else as well.
I would choose money and love. I believe with good amount of Money no need to worry about health, shelter, and food. I allow me to be much happier with less worrying. I would choose love because I the feeling the action of love seem so much great than fame, or service. I feel as though the emotion is greater than anything. Fame is something I would never aspire to be famous it seem like to much pressure. Service is something I don’t engage with right now so why live my life through it so I would disregard that.
