This is a question that I often ask my friends to gauge their personality and now I will bring it to NSG.
The basis is simple, what makes life good? All of these aspects do of course, but what is the most important part for you? If you could only choose to have one and be satisfied what would it be?
Do you live for prosperity? Do you wish for estates, riches, and the ability to have any material of your desire? It is a very human thing to strive for, for to gain material is to have something physical, something with meaning beyond the mind. Value is placed highly in our society and many people enjoy the wealth they have obtained, either to help themselves or to help others. It is not entirely good nor evil to strive for wealth, it is human nature.
Do you live to love? Do you wish for nothing more in your life than to be held in the arms of someone who cares for you? Love is a unique thing, it is a connection that is expressed rarely between two individuals and yet is so violently obvious it cannot be ignored. There are many different aspects of romance that I could not try to explain if I tried. Some people are driven through their lives with only that goal in mind, everything else is secondary to love.
Do you live for your connections? Do you wish for the acknowledgement and friendship of the people who surround you? To be there for everyone else, to involve yourself in the world around you and connect with your friends is a passion usually found in young adults. Friendships are important in our lives, some being valued above all others in any situation. It bears many similarities to love and yet is not. To some it is something less, but for others it is something so much more.
Do you live for yourself? Do you wish to the be the best at what you do, to be uncontested in your abilities, to be famous and transcend history? Many people say that they wish to be famous, but there is a drive to this want that is deeper than simple recognition. These people dream of the spotlight, they crave to be the better than the world, to do what no other mortal to do. They are artists, scientists, and engineers, the drive beats past all barriers. The want to be the best, to be recognized, is something that drives the best and the worst of people.
Do you live for adrenaline? Do you wish to travel the world, to climb the highest peaks, see the brightest lights? Many young adults walk this path of life, where excitement and parties are the highlight of their lives. These people are not necessarily party-goers, but anyone who values the journey above everything else. The thrill-seekers, the adventurers, the people who throw away their navigation devices just to have more fun. Fun is a concept understood by most, but these people will stop it nothing to make sure it is constantly prevalent.
Do you live for stability? Do you wish for nothing more than to be safe, to have your life pan out without having to worry? In contrast to thrill-seekers these types of people find satisfaction in being able to know what lies ahead. While some dread the monotony of day to day life, these people do not mind it for as long as their life continues to run it's flawless course. Though this path is typically taken by those emotionally scarred, it is not always the case and not necessarily a bad thing. They simply wish to have life proceed with ease.
Do you live to be free? Do you wish to have choices and options to do anything you wish to achieve? There are people who are satisfied not with a choice, but simply with the ability to choose. Chain-breakers want a word where their decisions matter, where they are not confound to do what other people will. These are the people who ignite revolutions and challenge authority in order to grant freedom for themselves and others. While many see it as a noble cause, those who truly believe in freedom see it as a necessity.
What path do you walk? Only you can decide.
