You are given 30 days to spend money freely, to purchase anything you wanted. ANYTHING.
At the end of the 30 days, you have to pay the price. You must give up your life so the rest of society could retain its standard of living.
Would you willingly trade your life for one month of perfection?
(Additional: Are there conditions that would make you even think of choosing this option?)

Life isn't perfect. It can never be made perfect. Perfection is a myth.

8. Not even under any (or all) of these qualifications: |
|
* terminally ill * no income * no job future (no prospects)
Would you really prefer something else to one month of bliss and a painless death over months or more of starvation or worse?

10. gimme 5 years of absolute world rulership |
|
and i'd do... at least i would leave behind a legacy.
Outlaw legal persons (corporations)
Outlaw private arms
Slash military budget down to catastrophe management
Emphasis on health, education, ecology and fair distrubution of ressources.
Nationalize ALL earth surface and the ressources on it.
Persecution and execution of warmongers and warcriminals
Outlaw gasoline fueled vehicles after a viable replacement has been found.
Gimme power to do this and you'll hate the day when the 5 years are over...
Alternatively gimme a huge Alien armada to fuck the world back to stoneage...and have humanity try again. And get to senses that unity will be the only way survival.
i' rather have option one though.
i'd die at 32. At my conditions i'd do it

hope, friendship, good conversations, being broke and APPRECIATING a hard won cigarette and cup of coffee, sunlight, life, hope, love, cooking meals for people, helping others is WAY MORE IMPORTANT THAN LAYING UP RICHES.

i don't have very many friends either.
but sometimes the one or two good people you find are worth more than 100 fair-weather types.
well, you're talking to me, we both bleed, so we have at least one thing in common.
it's a start.
when life gives you lemons, squeeze them on some lobster.
