If you were asked to choose between three wishes- money, power and peaceful life.What would you choose and why?
Answers
If I were asked to choose among money, power, and peaceful life, I would surely choose peaceful life because peaceful life itself includes enough money and power. However, money alone does not ensure peace and power.
The wise men of all times have advised the people in general to choose peaceful life. In the world around us, we see many affluent people who have plenty of money without peace and power; they don't enjoy life; money is of little use. Someone has poetically described the limited domain of money in the following lines the following:
"Money can buy you a bed but not sleep. Money can buy you a clock but not time. Money can buy you a book but not knowledge. Money can buy you a position but not respect. Money can buy you medicine but not health. Money can buy you blood but not life." Similarly power is of little use without peace. Who could have been more powerful than Hercules or Hitler? But neither of them had peace. So I would go for peace!”
