As announced in yesterday’s blog, here’s the updated analysis including “love.” If we start from the worst and move up to the best case situation, here’s how I see things stack up:
1. Nothing at all – Zero Point
No time, no health, no money, no love; the pits: Things can’t get any worst.
2. Just Time – One Point
Can make all the other missing elements very painful if time is indeed very long
3. Just Money – Two Point
If plentiful, it may buy some time and some health, who knows? Sorry, you can't buy love
4. Just Health – Three Point
A pretty tangible asset that will keep us going
5. Just Love – Four Point
Sounds romantic, but will it be strong enough to make up for the (missing) rest? Sorry, you can neither sell nor barter love!
6. Time and Health – Five Point
Perhaps cut and dry, but likely to work for most
7. Time and Money – Six Point
The package is a bit limited but it might buy some time and some love
8. Time, Health and Money – Seven Point
Fully functional, but quite cold; nothing warm and fuzzy!
9. Money and Love – Eight Point
Better keep a few dollars to buy some health and time when they become available
10. Time and Love – Nine Point
The perfect setup for everlasting love, if we can do without too much health and money
11. Time, Money and Love – Ten Point
May work well on a tropical island with no one around being sick
12. Health and Money – Eleven Points
Will work, but love is clearly going to be a function of careful timing!
13. Health and Love – Twelve Point
Not such a bad combination if we didn’t have to take a lot of time to buy and enjoy many material things
14. Health, Money and Love – Thirteen Point
Better enjoy everything while it last; make sure to set a few dollars aside to buy more time
15. Time, Health and Love – Fourteen Point
All is almost perfect as long as everything stays cheap
16. Time, Health, Money and Love - Fifteen Point
Nirvana? At the very least a perfect life
I realize these elements are not that "black and white" and there's room for much more "gray area" in each one of them; however, if your views happen to drastically differ from mine, we all would love to know them, so please, write down a comment and explain how you see things!
