If you could possess only one thing, absolute wisdom or be the wealthiest person on earth, which would you choose and why?

Wealth would be great but wisdom would bring greater wealth. I would by far want to have absolute wisdom.

With absolute wisdom one could acquire absolute wealth.

I would want the wisdom. I believe you can use your wisdom to bring in money . Once you have proven your wisdom, y\Y ou will be wise enough to see how you can make your life better financially.It is a win win situation.

If you do it in the corret order.

I would chose wisdom....wisdom can make you wealthy and I'd rather not be categorized as greedy by chosing the money.

I choose wealth, I can do more for other people if I have absolute wealth, I used it to build schools and hospitals used my richness to help as much people as possible in every way. I would hire somebody with great wisdom to guide me with my investment.

Wealth. Wisdom cannot be shared as easily as wealth. And furthermore, I'm fairly certain absolute wisdom would be miserable.

Imagine knowing all these things and not even be able to communicate them to other people because they wouldn't even have the foundation of knowledge to comprehend anything on a deeper scale. You'd have to teach people things constantly to be able to discuss what you know completely, and I imagine it'd be very difficult for other people to keep up with your intellect. People would be intimidated.

Or worse yet, imagine you pick wisdom and even with absolute wisdom you discover there is no cure for cancer, the cold, or no answer to why mankind exists. How completely depressing would that be? The most intelligent people always seem to be the most depressed.

I'd rather not be miserable. If I was the wealthiest person on earth, I could donate money to charities, or pick poor families at random and completely pay all their bills and things for a whole year. I could invest some of it, and get rid of the majority of it spread out among many people so I wouldn't be the target for murder or greedy people wanting handouts.

I don't necessarily value wealth over knowledge, but I know which would probably be fun to have more of. The best part of becoming intelligent and wise is the experience and studying, not the sudden, unearned award of wisdom and knowledge. Becoming wealthy involves lots of hard, demanding work, or a lot of luck.

Or both. Plus, I'd really just like to buy a roller coaster to put in my backyard. And a giant pool that has dolphins in it.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
