i want to say true love but the guy that i was in love with and he was supposedly in love with me left me twice. 5 years of me being straight honest and being with only him wasted.. .i wouldve passed up 10 mil for him......he calls 1 day and says he has a new girl..we never argued...... F*** Love... give me the 10 million and i'll go love that.. IMO true love will come regardless.. if not i still got my 10 mil.
greetings, non-human.. what's it like to teeter on your tippy toes on the precipice of emotionally disconnected insanity like that..? makes for quick passing of those long dull days and nights at the desert island your tin heart currently resides in total isolation..? and these kids you speak of providing for.. birthed from a composite of sand and water are they..?
poor misguided soul.. love isn't something you can earn.. let alone true love.. it's either given to you.. or it isn't.. as much as some would you have you deliriously believe.. there are no multiple opportunities for true love.. there are endless however, for love.. as there are so many various forms of it to give and receive within our hearts.. even in the particular and exact realm of romance.. but, true love.. between two people.. if you're fortunate enough to have the opportunity present itself to you.. you best not fumble it or worse.. just let it pass you by.. it is the strongest, but also the most delicate.. I assure you.. it will not be offered again..
Actually when I first saw this poll,I was pondering how the hell I can get both of 'em? $10 mil and true love are the fundamental things everyone I guess desire to have at the same time. I'm gonna take it as a dream come true when I could own $10 mil and fall in love with my True Love.
I'd take the 10mill. "Falling in love" is subjective as hell. I'd argue love is something you work on, more than just a feeling.
The money will eventually run out. Granted it will be awhile, but it cant buy real happiness. True love is true love. If you would pick the money, wouldnt you wonder if your true love could have made you happier?
as are a person's own emotional capacity and ability.. to the extent of their own perception.. as are their illusory limitations.. a relationship is something you work on.. love is a feeling..
Whatever it is, you can't have it if you take the 10mil. You take the 10mil andyou have nothing to work for in a relationship.
It al depends on two things: 1) Are you saying that taking the money means you'll never be in love? (I don't believe in "true" love) 2) If you are with somebody now, do you take that into consideration or are we assuming that everyone is single and has no one in mind? If condition number 1 doesn't apply, and condition number 2 DOES apply, then obviously the money. But I wouldnt give up the person I'm with for that money, although money is at this very moment standing in the way of me being with her. However, if there was no one in my life, and the money meant I couldnt find "true" love, then I would take the money because I don't believe there's such a thing as "True" love. Statistically, it's a ridiculous theory. There's love and that's it, only the amount differs. There's no different category IMO. Also, I could set my life up in a way that I could make so many people happy (family, friends, community, etc). So you don't find that "perfect" person - is it worth you building homes for the homeless? Bringing water to the thirsty? Food to the hungry? Medicine for those who need it? REALLY all YOU need out of the $10 million is to buy your own home and another one or two which you can rent out for consistent income. Coupled with your job, you're really free to do so much in life after that. We think way too much about what WE'D do with the money for ourselves.
I voted true love. Of course i would be A LOT tougher to make that decision if I actually had that pressure of passing on 10 mill... but I'm a firm believer that all of the money in the world won't make a person happy... I believe happiness comes from somewhere else besides worldly posessions
Wow, I would probably be more forgiving of this rambling, poorly reasoned and poorly written mush if it weren't for your condescending tone upfront.
Well as long as I don't have to die old and alone (which I'm assuming I don't if I have $10M in my pocket), then give me the $$$$. I mean, do I still get to have a gal and have the $$$? I ask this because I have been in love more than once...so if I get the loot and can get a chick later I think I'll be ok.... So I guess I need clarification...cuz I don't think you necessarily need "true love" to be happy. I can be happy being paid and stress free, and in a whole lotta like with someone.....
Happiness is not dependent on the love from the person(s) you are screwing. True love can end. $10 million won't unless you're a dumbass.
