After reading Dorfam Mirgharavi’s post about how if she had to choose between money, power or recognition she would choose a combination of all three but most importantly she would concentrate on being happy.
Wanting happiness is universal but a very broad topic. Before telling you what I would pick to create happiness, I’ll go over the other choices.
Recognition just shows that people only would do things if other people knew about it. This is extremely unethical and selfish thus not promoting happiness.
Money is fun but what’s money worth if you can’t share it with others? Sure being able to buy your kid a ferrari for his birthday would be amazing but this wouldn’t make him love you more. He would end up being spoiled and would only look at you with $$ in his eyes. You would be alone and that doesn’t sound like happiness to me.
I would choose power. One who has power can make a difference. I would use this power to look over people who I care for and thus they would show reciprocal treatment towards me. This creates a bond and a system of caring and thus creates happiness.
