What are the important things in life?

Question

Can you list the top ten things you think people live for?

When it's all said and done, what are the things you'd look back and regret, and what are the things you would relive over and over in your mind because they were so perfect?

It doesn't have to be the commercialized happiness, like graduations or weddings; those are important in my opinion, but I wanna know the things that were smaller and changed your life significantly even if the person standing next to you didn't give it a passing thought. . .

Happy telling =D

Answer 2

Thing people live for:

Money, s*x, love, material possessions, status, children, control, fame, glory, wrath.

Things I live for:

My family, love, happiness, chocolate, pie, s*x, memories, the unknown, my daughters weddings, grand children.

What would I do over:

I would stay with my good for nothing ex husband until I got pregnant with our two children and then I would leave him instead of waiting for him to change ( my youngest daughter was 8 when we divorced...you do the math).  I would go back to school and get my degree.  I would move to Montana where my new husband is from and find him so we wouldn't have to miss all those years we could have been together.

My perfect things:

One of the times my husband and I went camping.  When my girls and I would make cookies for Santa.

The thing I regret:  

Staying in an unhappy, unhealthy marriage for 13 years waiting for him to grow up.  It, to this day, five years after the divorce, still hasn't happened.

Answer 5

What are the important things in life ??...  

The most important thing in life is satisfaction... All other things which seems to be important, is just a way to achieve it.

I think its very important to have a goal, in your life. So that each of your day is happening.

Art, Love , Faith (in God)...... Anyone , who wants to find the meaning of life , ends in these three.... These three things are very important in life... These are the only truths..... everything else is just fancy..... Let you be anything, a scientist, Politician, Teacher, Thief, anyone.. The day you find yourself not satisfied.. and not happy.. You start searching for the meaning of life.. And you will end in any of these three...

Answer 6

self analysis

Answer 7

Your mind is the important thing in life, except it. FIN

Answer 8

Would say the important things are given in

"Freakonomics," S. Levitt--how to learn to earn;

"The Path of the Higher Self," Mark Prophet--how reality works;

"They Call Me Coach," John Wooden--value of team;

"Stay Alive, My Son," Pin Yathay--persistence and good effort to survive;

"Alcatraz versus the Evil Librarians," Brandon Sanderson--humor and irony help;

"Testimony of Light," Helen Greaves--philosophy of life after death;

"When Invisible Children Sing," Dr. Chi Cheng Huang--compassion and knowledge that many are sadly unappreciated;

"Extraordinary Knowing," Dr. Elizabeth Mayer--awareness and perception;

"Autobiography of a Yogi," Yogananda--the goal of a life well-lived;

"Casebook on Alternative Three," Jim Keith--the mysterious.

Answer 9

I don't understand what you mean by what people live for?

But I think you mean like

Love, Lust, Happiness, Family, Friends, Travel...?

The thing I regret most would be the people I've fallen in love with.. haha. Moving into a city from the country. Oh and my graduation night was terrible, my best friend stole my date and dumped her boyfriend just to make me mad :| .

The best moments in life really are the small ones. Weather they be just sitting around with friends, or seeing a new mom hold her baby for the first time. My moment I'd like to re-live is when I egged a boys house that had broken my heart. It's vandalizm, I know, but me and my friends got such a thrill out of throwing eggs at his bedroom window and being followed by his dad in his car.

Hope this answers your question!

Oh and the most important thing in life is love, deffinately.

Answer 11

The people around me don't know the power of STOP.

The important thing in life is life itself, and life cannot be known in the rush of constant activity and quest for things.

This is the philosophy section, so I will use the words of Socrates: "Know Thyself." And that is the "gospel" of stop. This same idea in terms of religion is on my bio.

Answer 12

Well I don't know what other people live for but here's what I live for [in no particular order]:

1. Happiness

2. Friends

3. Family

4. Other's Happiness

5. Finding out what I want to do with my life

6. Laughing

7. Lack Of Religion

8. Money

9. A Carefree Life

10. A Healthy Body

I try to live they way "live life with no regrets, because at one time or another you wanted it." But I'd change me lying to whomever.

I would never change my time with my friends. =]
