<p>^^ Thats a rare phenomenon. No wonder why the US has high divorce rates!</p>
<p>lol... Then I guess I'm a rare phenomenon.</p>
<p>Let me just say this...I would rather go out with a hobo with a good heart, than with a billionare who has no heart.</p>
<p>I second that notion.</p>
<p>i wanna take this opportunity to express my love for celebrian25 :D</p>
<p>I have a cush on celebrian25</p>
<p>Do you guys have any idea of what you can do with seven figures?!!</p>
<p>No, I don't know what you can do with seven figures, but I know that it wouldn't be able to replace true love.</p>
<p>7 figures is just money. It can buy you tangibles, but it can't buy you the things that matter.</p>
<p>Money = power. Simple as that.</p>
<p>what can power do for you? Power can make you short-term happy, but isn't there more to life than what you own?</p>
<p>LOL. I wonder if you would REALLY choose love over seven figures.</p>
<p>If someone was to give me seven figures right now in exchange for me never being in love or getting rid of my love, I wouldn't take the money. No matter how much it is, I will always choose love. Yes, it may sound irrational to some people, but I'm an irritional person who believes in love.</p>
<p>The part of my brain that's logical and reasonable says take the money. But I feel things with my heart, and my soul. And that part of me is much stronger and believes in the power of love. And that's why I'll choose love every time. Hypothetical or real situation</p>
<p>I love you celebrain25.</p>
<p>awww...who knows maybe she will be the love that you won't give up for seven figures...</p>
<p>Yes, we will change his mind on this subject thesiren :)</p>
<p>I like challenges, and I can make a compelling argument in the case of love..primativefuture- would you like to have your mind changed on the subject of love?</p>
<p>I'd like to see if my mind can be changed about love...</p>

<p>^ I feel the same way. </p>
<p>I immediately chose money upon reading this post, and I'm not going back on that decision. I understand that money does not = happiness. I understand that money isn't everything. But again, you could do so many things with money (and not just selfish, self-indulgement things). I know I would do good things with my money (I mean, I suppose there's a tiny chance money will corrupt me or something, but I'm pretty sure I would act out of goodwill to humankind with my money). I know I won't be hated or shunned by people for being a Mr. Burns-esque type of person. I truly get happiness from helping others. </p>
<p>In choosing the 7-figures from the OP's original question, I'm assuming I will still have friends and that everyone I care for or love (such as my family) won't just mysteriously die. I'm not someone with no heart. I do value a person's heart and personality over their money. Is love necessarily = to happiness and self-fulfillment?</p>
<p>hmm..you raise a good valid point...atleast you are willing to use your money for the good of mankind...but the OP's original question was love or money..I just assumed that if you ended up choosing money, you will never experience true love or you will lose your true love if you had already found it. I want to help people, but if I was put in the position to choose love or money, I would choose love. In choosing love I will be happy and self-fulfilled, and I could always volunteer to help the world. Money does equal power, and you can use the power to help people, but how much of your own personal happiness instead of the happiness that you get out of helping people are you willing to sacrifice?</p>
<p>My issue with this question is it's not made clear whether we have to choose love OR money exclusively. And then we don't know does love mean we will live comfortably or does that mean no money? These things aren't really made clear by the OP</p>
