I guess this goes with the old Cash song and a little deep of a question.

 

But, if you were offered Fame and of course a little money with it, Extreme Wealth, or Peace of Mind for the rest of your life, what do you take?

 

I've never had Wealth or Fame obviously but as far as I'm concerned nothing beats Peace of Mind when everything is right in your world just the hardpart of keeping that peace.

 

I'd like to say I'd take Peace of Mind but the offer is tough.

I won't lie to myself, I'd probably take extreme wealth and take my chances on gaining peace of mind and fame.

"You can't be in it for the money

you gotta satisfy your soul!"

-Montgomery Gentry

 

Yeah, I'd take piece of mind in a heartbeat

Here's The Cash lyrics which really makes me want peace of mind

 

I would think that extreame wealth would look real great so it obviously would never be an easy choice and I think that neither of the three can be achieved together.

 

"How many times have

You heard someone say

If I had his money

I could do things my way

 

But little they know

That it's so hard to find

One rich man in ten

With a satisfied mind

 

Once I was waitin'

In fortune and fame

Everything that I dreamed for

To get a start in life's game

 

Then suddenly it happened

I lost every dime

But I'm richer by far

With a satisfied mind

 

Money can't buy back

Your youth when you're old

Or a friend when you're lonely

Or a love that's grown cold

 

The wealthiest person

Is a pauper at times

Compared to the man

With a satisfied mind

 

When my life has ended

And my time has run out

My friends and my loved ones

I'll leave there's no doubt

 

But one thing's for certain

When it comes my time

I'll leave this old world

With a satisfied mind

 

How many times have

You heard someone say

If I had his money

I could do things my way

 

But little they know

That it's so hard to find

One rich man in ten

With a satisfied mind

I don't understand why a wealthy person can't have a "satisfied mind" but a poor person can.

I wouldn't say Poor but more of a person who at their point in their life accepts where they are and can be content with it. With the rich mostly you'd look to gain or keep your wealth which you try to put your life in your hands and leads to the worrying and fear in the mind. As an old person who lives in a small house but no longer has to worry about gaining in his life and just puts his future out of his hand and no longer has to fear or worry.

 

Almost no human can truly be content with that though which is why peace of mind is almost impossible to achieve for the rest of your life because doubting and worries will somehow reappear.

I honestly don't know. Peace of Mind is a great thing to have, as is extreme wealth because you can make all of the people you care about happy as well as yourself. I don't care about fame.

 

I choose extreme wealth because I can make others happy besides myself.

peace of mind would make things boring....like the Pat Green song talks about...bad times keep life from being boring...

 

sometimes uncertainty and bad things make the good times that much better...

 

I'd take fame, and try to turn it into wealth. Peace of mind is a good thing, but like I said...full time peace of mind could keep things boring.

I'd go with Peace of Mind.

 

I'm a simple person and really dont need a lot of things and money to be happy.

I understand about indecision,

But I don't care if I get behind.

People living in competition;

All I want is to have my peace of mind.

Peace of Mind

Peace of mind

I want money, then I can buy piece of mind. :whistle

I don't understand why a wealthy person can't have a "satisfied mind" but a poor person can.

Bust your butt for a lifetime and get ahead a little bit and the whole world is looking to take it from you because now you're one of those evil "rich".

Where that came from, I have no clue.

money,money,and more f***ing money.

Extreme Wealth definately. Although peace of mind is nice to have. But, the world revolves around money.

Gotta go with wealth.

fame baby....I wanna be remembered after I'm dead

I want to have lots of money, but the important thing in life is to be happy, so I'd go with peace of mind. At the same time, money can buy you a more comfortable/peaceful live, so...tough call.

money might not buy you peace of mind...but there are other ways of achieving it....i dont want total piece of mind until im dead...it would make life feel less spontaneous
