True Love or Cash Money??

So I’ve heard this question thrown around quite frequently and whenever I’ve heard it, I’ve never really had a straight answer.  If I could have all the money in the world or the love of my life, which would I choose?  Seeing as how I’ve never had both, this is based purely on speculation and what I think to be a somewhat logical thought process.  Obviously if you asked someone their opinion after they’ve had both money and the love of their life, they wouldn’t be able to give any useful input because they never had to choose.

The answer to this question varies from person to person, based on morals, selfishness, and basic needs.  Again, if someone has experience what they thought was “True Love” but has lost that love, then they are most likely to choose the money option, unless they are really optimistic that the will again find “True Love,” but that depends on the time interval between their breakup and the decision and their general outlook on life.  If someone is used to a life of riches and wealth but has recently lost said wealth and riches, then they would hastily choose money over love.  So in case you haven’t picked up on it yet, the decision is somewhat relative to each person’s current situation.

Casting aside all extenuating circumstances, let’s try to find out the best choice when one has never experienced “True Love” and has not ever had all the money they could wish for.  True love promises a life full of affection and someone that will support you.  No worries about your legacy ending when you are dead (assuming True Love to you included fertility).  Someone to come home to at the end of they day and confide in with your problems/concerns/or general thoughts.  You can fill in the rest of the line of benefits from “True Love,” the sequence is pretty linear here.

Now with getting all the money in the world, there becomes a myriad of options to choose from.  You can buy land, houses, cars, islands, food, electronics, and whatever else tickles your fancy.  Once you obtain everything you want, you can wait another year or so and then go through it all again and get the latest and greatest of what you bought at first.  It pretty much ends there, if that gets you by for the rest of your life then more power to you.

I didn’t really write the cons for either choice, except kind of the money choice with the whole waiting a year or so until you can buy the new things you want.  After reviewing what I’ve written above, I can honestly say I would choose True Love over Money.  However, I acknowledge that this choice is influenced greatly on current moods and things of the such.  There have been times, and I’m sure there will be more in the future, where I just want as much money as possible so I can buy whatever I want.  This is more of a rash decision than a well thought out one though.  So my choice, as of today, is True Love.

Alright, now you all can debate on the existence of “True Love” or the impossibility of it and how money can buy you love blah blah blah.  It’s all open to interpretation and seeing as how I’ve never experienced either at this point in my life, I find my viewpoint to be unbiased for the most part.
