This is a really hard pick you've set out. While a larger part of my head is running towards money, the more sensible part is asking for love. I'm at a crossroad now.😫

Seeing that a popular song writer said she would rather be crying in a Bentley with dollar bills surrounding her, I'm tempted to choose the money, but, helpe answer these;

  • Can money give me genuine care or even buy half hearted care?

  • Can money give me warm hugs on days I feel dispair??

I think not. While money is good and can buy a lot of the finer things of life, I've seen it's shortage and lack of thr ability to offer real human empathy, one thing which is every humans core need.
Love on the other hand they say, covers all thinhs.
Think of love like a warm blanket that has pockets and inside those pockets are varied gifts wrapped in swaddled clothes, one could pick money, or not, but since I'm already making the money, give me love.

Money doesn't hug one on cold days or give a warm embrace on days of despair so please give me the love. The money is coming.😁

Wise thoughts you’ve stated here
Well for me you said

Think of love like a warm blanket that has pockets and inside those pockets are varied gifts wrapped in swaddled clothes, one could pick money, or not, but since I'm already making the money, give me love.

I choose to think of money as a warm blanket that inside one of the pockets I will get my swaddling gift of love wrapped in it and the warm hugs and other things I need.

Toh
Give me money and put love inside it😏. I want both but let money come first. I don too suffer😒. I don’t want love blanket that there’s no money inside the pockets ooo.
Toh

😂😂😂 I see the switch here Ma'am😂

I have the love to give a hundred fold provided I have the money

Which would you choose, money or love?

I will choose love, not money, because you can buy anything with money apart from love; you can force a sheep to the river, but you can't force it to drink water. As simple as that, no matter what level of money you have, you can change your feelings because one day you will need love. You know love is a beautiful thing that needs to be done among humans, while money is the root of all evils; it's biblical. I know money can change your situation. When I mean situations, I'm referring to wealth, good living, better education, good health, and respect in society, but not all situations. Don't be surprised in this part of situations involving love, long life, sense of reasoning, principles, self-control, self-discipline, and contentment. Money can lead to earned death, while love can give you happiness and peace of mind.

So I take love.

Nice submission you have made here but this is not correct

money is the root of all evils; it's biblical

Money is not the root of all evils. The Bible said the love of money is the root of all evil. It’s the love of money not money.

Meanwhile pls lemme ask what do you mean by this statement

Money can lead to earned death

Do you mean early death? Or earned death? Which ever, pls how does money lead to death?. I’d like to know…

To me, love is more important than money. While love can inspire and motivate us to earn money, wealth alone can never buy true love. Love is an emotion that cannot be purchased.
In today's world, money holds great significance, and many prioritize it above all else. However, true happiness cannot come from money alone- love is just as essential.
Love is not limited to the bond between a boyfriend and girlfriend or a husband & wife. It is the connection between two people, whether they are parents and children, siblings, spouses, or friends. Love has no fixed definition, it is an emotion that comes from the heart, strengthening relationships and bringing people closer.

Money is important, but love is a fundamental need for every person. While money can provide comfort and security, It is love that brings true happiness, warmth and meaning to life.

So I would choose love over money. I want to invite my friends @wakeupkitty, @vishwara & @trafalgar for this.

I choose love because it has the power to overcome many things. While there's a saying that "money answers all things," I believe love is more powerful in some ways. Money can be made at any time if you have the right connections or knowledge, but genuine love is much harder to find. We live in a world where people are often selfish, and it’s rare for someone to put others' needs before their own. That’s why love is so hard. Love to me is a passion and an action word. We were put on this earth to love one another. Just look at how wealthy men can still get divorced despite their billions, while some people with little money live happy, contented lives. For me, money isn’t everything because there are things it can't buy. A famous American boxer “Floyd Patterson” once said, "When you have millions of dollars, you have millions of friends." This shows that money attracts many things, including those who aren’t genuine. This also balls down to marriage a lot of people marry because of money, no one wants to marry for love again, and that one reason a lot of ladies are still single because they are looking for a rich man to marry. This also applies to men but in rare cases. So, in the end, I prefer love over money, because money can be made but love is hard to come by, and if you find someone who loves you unconditionally swallow your pride and reciprocate such love.

Greetings dear @iamguchidanart!

Dear I like your choice. I agree with your choice. Love is very powerfull than money. we can find money if we have differents sources but the true love is so hard and difficult to find it . Love is a true passion. we can't buy love with money. Once again i apprecite you thoughts and choice dear. Best of luck .

I am fine my friend, just that the weather in my country is a little bit hot at the moment ahhahaahahah. Hope you are doing alright ?

Love is powerful I pray we all come across those who love us for who we are and not just for what they can benefit from us.

Hey dear !
Your choice of love is unique. You truly said that love has the power to overcome many thing. Genuine love is much harder to find 💯% right. It is the gentle warmth which fills the heart. Love is a tender touch that soothes the soul. Money can not buy genuine love and relationships. Being single and waiting for the right person is good choice than settling for someone just for wealth. Love is the feelings of unspoken promises which only two hearts can understand. Very well written post on love. My best wishes for you.

Thanks sadaf, love conquers all things if our world is full of love it will be a better place.

Some people love money, other people pay for love.
That was not exactly the answer though, so what would I choose?

I've had moments when I had a bit more money in my life (never Jeff Bezos or Elon Musk level of money, obviously, but I was living comfortably), and I had moments when I was poor enough to learn twenty different ways to prepare pasta with onions - the only two ingredients I could afford :)

Now, it's an extreme, and if we are talking about being in love but starve or being alone but rich, obviously I choose the option that gives me more chances to survive. It's an animal instinct, nobody wants to die, even if the agony would be accompanied with the love poem of our equally poor partner. If we will ignore the extreme, and we will put on the plate two options:
a) living lower-middle class life with plenty of love or
b) living upper-middle or upper class life solo
then I choose love

Each time I was traveling, learning new skills, discovering new meals in my life, I was getting the same amount of pleasure, or even more of it, from sharing those moments, experiences and my thoughts about it with people in around. Not having love, especially understood in less obvious way, not only as romantic feeling, but also love to our friends or even to ourselves, would be challenging.

I know I didn't post foto or share the contest, but it's ok. Just wanted to share my entry for fun, not that much into the rewards ;)

THE STRUGGLE BETWEEN LOVE AND MONEY

The argument between Love and Money could be likened to the debate on who is the Greatest of all time in football. While many supports Messi, Ronaldo's fans are also uncountable in numbers thus leading to an endless debate. Also, in regards Love and Money, while Money boost ones prestige, provides comfort and opportunities, love on the other side brings about a sense of belonging, emotional fulfilment and series of commitments. In today's world where money is seen as the solutions to all things, there exist a vacuum on its ability to replace the depth and impact that love provides.

In my opinion, there exist a nexus between Love and Money. However, their roles are quite different and vital in their own ways. Money on it part can reduce distress and hardship in a relationships, allowing couples to choose the kind of future they wish to build together. On the contrary, money alone does not guarantee the successful actualization of these plans as many wealthy and influential individuals are suffering and crying as a result of broken relationships which has created a scar that no amount of money can heal.

Notable great men like the likes of Howard Hughes despite the amount of money he had died in total isolation and lack of happiness. Meanwhile a noted poor person like Mother Teresa, lived happily and found deep joy and purpose as a result of love and services. This two stories proves that money can buy luxurious items but not true companionship.

By this, I personally have no doubt that money is essential for survival. However, love is and will forever remains the ultimate because it is always said that love makes the world go round round round. From my perspective, materialism is not and will never be a true yardstick to measure true wealth. Rather true is a function of the love and sincere relationships we build with one another. Therefore I though I LOVE money, I will.always choose LOVE.

Beautiful piece I must say but I thought they said money makes the world go round, when did it transfer that ability to love?

Seems you never paid attention to this song while in the children section of your church. Personally,II gave full attention because it was always sang every Sunday during biscuits sharing period. You did to see how I channelled energy into singing the song so as to get an extra carbon biscuit

Is love, is love
that makes the world goes round
Is love is love
That makes the world goes round...
Is love that makes the world goes round....

I didn’t even know about this song as a kid

Maybe he changed it from love to money
