Just curious.. if you could have anything in the entire world, what would it be and why? Could be physical, spiritual, emotional etc.

January 22, 2009 3:41 am at 3:41 am #1154841mazal77ParticipantMoshiach!! Right NOW!!!
January 22, 2009 3:44 am at 3:44 am #1154842CuriousMemberteenager – I actually heard that one from a rebetzin. If she could have one thing it would be a reason to be happy.
January 22, 2009 3:44 am at 3:44 am #1154843squeakParticipant:’) Joseph, that was so sweet. Few people have attached such importance to little old me.
January 22, 2009 3:44 am at 3:44 am #1154844RoshYeshivahMemberNobody provided the “why”.
January 22, 2009 3:48 am at 3:48 am #1154845mazal77Participantand you wanted to know why, So the whole world will finally see who is King of all Kings, that the yidden are truly Hashem’s chosen people, that there will be a true peace in the world, that I can finally get to Eretz Yisroel, that Moshe is Emes!! and that Torah is Emes!!
January 22, 2009 3:52 am at 3:52 am #1154846oomisParticipantOne thing – only ONE thing??????? OY. I would want complete Shalom al Yisroel, because if that were the case, all other happiness would ensue as a result. It could only happen if Moshiach came, the Beis Hamikdash were rebuilt, our meisim were alive again, and their was total achdus in kall Yisroel.
And also, chocolate.
January 22, 2009 3:54 am at 3:54 am #1154847teenagerMemberIt would have to be true happiness, not based on materialistic things. If I was happy, i wouldnt feel a need to resort to negative things.
January 22, 2009 3:56 am at 3:56 am #1154848JosephParticipantsqueak, can you grant my wish?
January 22, 2009 3:57 am at 3:57 am #1154849squeakParticipantoomis: you are a talmid of Dovid HaMelech. “Achas shoalti…. shivti biveis Hashem… lachzos benoam Hashem, u’levaker b’heicholo”

January 22, 2009 4:24 am at 4:24 am #1154851asdfghjklParticipanthow about what’s the one thing you couldn’t live without????
January 22, 2009 4:26 am at 4:26 am #1154852kiruvwifeMemberteenager–it’s possible to have happiness–it’s a result of fulfillment, resolution of doubt, and a feeling of being understood. I hope you have ways in your life to get there. If not I’m sure many can give solid suggestions.
If I could have one thing it would be that we could all realize how much Hashem loves us.
January 22, 2009 4:40 am at 4:40 am #1154853moish01Membergood question… never thought about it. i think for my own good i’m gonna bite my tongue and not answer… not that i have an answer yet. get back to me in ten years.

January 22, 2009 5:33 am at 5:33 am #1154863JosephParticipantasdf, it was almost as funny as you living in Ireland and being 26, er 24.
January 22, 2009 5:36 am at 5:36 am #1154864beaconParticipantToo be honest asdfgh- NOTHING you say shocks me anymore 😉

January 22, 2009 6:14 am at 6:14 am #1154868CuriousMemberbeacon – ditto
January 22, 2009 7:53 am at 7:53 am #1154869shkoyachParticipantIf I could have anything it would be a fold up light wet bed that I could carry in my pocket and put to use daily…. no I take that back… i think I am learning to sleep without the bad in all postions! ok then I guess I would want…. um…. ooohhh this is hard…. I would want to have the chachma to always do the right thing!! (no more sticking a foot in my mouth… its getting sore!)
What thing could I not live without? My bed… oh we took care of that, I guess my true happiness.
January 22, 2009 1:08 pm at 1:08 pm #1154870syriansephardiMemberAsdfghjkl thanx 🙂
January 22, 2009 3:25 pm at 3:25 pm #1154873yoshiMemberCold hard CASH. That way, I can buy a lot of my happiness, and give happiness to others in need.
January 22, 2009 8:26 pm at 8:26 pm #1154874areivimzehlazehParticipantasdfghjkl- now you’ve done it. I was laughing so hard bout the hair gel my co-worker came in to ask what’s wrong. My shoulders were shaking. Maybe I’m just in that kinda mood- happens on Thursdays u know. That giddiness that Shabbos is almost here. ahhhh- some menuchas hanefesh at last
These are some really deep questions- as light as they may sound.
The one thing I can’t live without is- MUSIC
January 22, 2009 8:57 pm at 8:57 pm #1154875feivelParticipantcloseness to Hashem
January 22, 2009 9:01 pm at 9:01 pm #1154876SJSinNYCMemberI would love to know all TRUTH. Although, I think if I really got that, it would also have a lot of negatives associated with it.
January 22, 2009 9:23 pm at 9:23 pm #1154877squeakParticipantshkoyach? Would that be a queen size bed? Tell us, so we can make Mod99 jealous again.
January 23, 2009 2:40 am at 2:40 am #1154878upoutMemberhmmm Had a feeling most ppl would write Moshiach or happiness.
Can the thing you want most be the thing you can’t live without?
January 23, 2009 2:50 am at 2:50 am #1154879asdfghjklParticipantareivimzehlazeh: ha, i’m so happy i made ya laugh so hard!!! have a great shobbos man!!!
January 23, 2009 4:56 am at 4:56 am #1154880shkoyachParticipantoops… at 2:45 am I would not make a good mod… I just read my post and i spelled somethings wrong that sound quite funny 🙂 I meant a light weight bed not a wet bed 😛 and I also meant a bed and not “bad”. oh squeak… it don’t need to be queen size as long as its long enough for me (Hey in EY days it was barely long enough nor wide enough so I had to learn to sleep on anything!)
For all those who said Moshiach… I was thinking of saying that but then I thought, hey are we supposed to be aiming for “moshiach” or I we supposed to be aiming to do Razon Hashem and as a result Hashem will bring moshiach. we are not living for Moshiach (contrary to popular belief!) we are living to serve Hakadosh Baruch Hu and bring the world to perfection as He deems it and clinging to Him and part of that process is Moshiach. Yes its an incentive but it’s not the top goal and we have torealize that and start deserving it.
January 23, 2009 5:16 am at 5:16 am #1154881asdfghjklParticipantshkoyach: we got the idea though!!!
January 23, 2009 5:33 am at 5:33 am #1154882Itzik_sMemberBS”D
I would want the chance to go back in time and physically experience matan Torah – but better we should all go forward in time and experience our own yetzia from the final Mitzrayim – nOW!
January 25, 2009 7:13 am at 7:13 am #1154883asdfghjklParticipantItzik_s: i like your answer!!!!!!
January 30, 2009 12:52 pm at 12:52 pm #1154884teenMemberok since we have all the moshiach should come and that i should b happy with what i have answers ill give my not so amazing thing
if i could have whatever i wanted it would be…
$100,000,000,000
sorry…i guess im very materialistic 😛
January 30, 2009 2:54 pm at 2:54 pm #1154885squeakParticipantteen, that’s no big deal. Stop by my house on your way home and I’ll cut you a check. (It’s less than 1/8 of what I just signed onto a few days ago).
But those other things, are not so easy.
January 30, 2009 2:58 pm at 2:58 pm #1154886teenMembersqueak: thanx buddy (if i knew it would be so easy i would have said much more) 😛
January 30, 2009 3:08 pm at 3:08 pm #1154887APushetaYidParticipantMoney doesn’t make a person happy!!! A person just has to be HEALTHY!!! & Close to hashem!!! thats what makes u happy!
January 30, 2009 4:18 pm at 4:18 pm #1154888JotharMemberA cheshek to actually learn so it wouldn’t be so hard to open a sefer during downtime from work. In kollel it was easy, but as a balabos it’s hard…
January 30, 2009 4:24 pm at 4:24 pm #1154889teenMemberames: great they have the same problems but at least rthey have the billion dollars too 😛
apushetayid: do u have 100 billion dollars? if not how would u no?
January 30, 2009 4:55 pm at 4:55 pm #1154890Why Do I Even BotherMemberYou can’t buy happiness…
January 30, 2009 5:18 pm at 5:18 pm #1154891APushetaYidParticipantDearest teen sorry but i don’t have 100 billion dollars, i promise you the people that have 100 billion dollars are not happier person than me!!! they r just maybe more worried… for various reasons!!! Health is Happiness by me, the bigger u get the more u realize it!
