No matter how high the wild goose flies, you can always break a window with an axe.

In the sense of reality, i'd say Loved Ones and Family. Now from single top o' the world point of view, i'd say Booze, Boobs & Gaming!

mario.arreola: Money. With money you can buy beer, bacon, books, music, games, a computer to run the games, a house, clothes.
How about health? Without money you can't go to the doctor, the dentist or buy medicines. Some one has to pay.
Maybe you can't buy love or hapiness, but you can rent a "boyfriend" o a "girlfriend" if you catch my drift.
If you try to find true love, money is needed anyway: To go to the movies, go out for dinner or a drink, buy him or her a nice present.
Now try to do all this without money. It´s hard isn´t?
It's as if you have ignored every wise man on the planet.

To crush your enemies, see them driven before you, and to hear the lamentation of their women.

Lionel212008: It is my humble opinion that human beings in general deem themselves as being far too important. There is no real or true meaning to life. We exist...and that is all there is to it. For in the scheme of things we are far less important than that of specks of dust. True knowledge is to know the extent of our ignorance.

In the words of the joker ""Ladies and Gentlemen! You've read about it in the papers! Now witness, before your very eyes, that most rare and tragic of nature's mistakes! I give you: the average man. Physically unremarkable, it instead possesses a deformed set of values. Notice the hideously bloated sense of humanity's importance. Also note the club-footed social conscience and the withered optimism. It's certainly not for the squeamish, is it? Most repulsive of all, are its frail and useless notions of order and sanity. If too much weight is placed upon them... they snap. How does it live, I hear you ask? How does this poor pathetic specimen survive in today's harsh and irrational environment? I'm afraid the sad answer is, "Not very well." Faced with the inescapable fact that human existence is mad, random, and pointless, one in eight of them crack up and go stark slavering buggo! Who can blame them? In a world as psychotic as this... any other response would be crazy!"

Well, truth be told. When I was young I wanted to watch the world burn. Instead.....
Why does everyone always need to compare their importance to the universe? No wonder so many have an inferiority complex. Just because we are relatively unimportant compared to something that is potentially infinite does not mean that you are uninmportant and your life has no meaning. That's some kind of hubris that tells you have to matter so much.

To the contrary. I've seen and read my share of wise man.
-For example the Dalai Lama and the Buddhist Monks. They preach a simple and peaceful life. That's A Ok. But here is a question for you: Who pays for his trips around the world to spread the message? All the publicity? He doesn´t have to worry about that because someone else does that for him. Someone else asks for MONEY so he can travel around the world.
-The late Mother Theresa, she "helped" a lot of sick people of India, but she took advantage of them. She collected MILLIONS and millions in DONATIONS, but her homes for the poor lacked of proper facilities or equipment: http://www.newstatesman.com/node/151370
-Many of the artists of the renaissance had patrons so they could focus entirely on their art. Who was one of the most generous patron of all? The Catholic Church. Who instead of using all that money to help and feed the poor used it to decorate their ivory towers.
- Karl Marx, one of the ideological fathers of socialism had the financial support of Engels so he could research and write. Even with his support Marx died penniless. Engels even supported Marxs daugthers giving them part of his fortune.
I could go on, but I guess you get the idea by now. Money is what moves the world, whether we like it or not. I guess is possible to survive without it, but what kind of life you could live?

Money doesn't make you happy, but the worries it keeps away makes happiness possible, he's not lying. People need things and few societies are willing to provide the basics, money is only an abstract representation of resources. You do need resources to survive, he didn't say pursue a lot of money, or money the point of unhappiness, just that money eases the search for happiness. He's not wrong.

I find more people remain honorable when they remain fed and don't have to choose between dishonor and making sure their kid has something like medicine.
