I can't imagine being eternally happy WITHOUT wealth. I realize that makes me a horribly shallow person, but it's the truth. I can imagine being wealthy without being happy though, so I'll go with Eternal Happiness with the assumption that (at least moderate) wealth is part of what has made me so damn happy.
Wealth + excessive leisure time + good friends + the ability to shoot laser beams out of my eyes = Eternal Happiness.

Well, the "optimist" in me says that with eternal happiness comes great wealth and power.
But, the pessimist in me says that even though we are blinded by the phrase "money can't buy happiness", it is the truth of life, so that's what I guess I would pick.
(If money were not important, people would not go to college for better jobs, have enormous amounts of bills and bad credit, or crave the material things such as homes and cars. I've just learned to deal with it.)

Difficult choice. Since in our world eternal hapiness doesn't really exist, I'd be prone to say power and wealth, but if there'd ever be such a thing as heaven or enlightened state all bounds are off and eternal hapiness could be possible... hmm, yup, I'll go with that then.

LMFAO! Well...when I first read that I thought you wrote "shoot laser beams out of my ass" which really made me laugh. When I realize you said, eyes, it was still funny just not @ss funny! You shallow @ss beamer, you! 😉
Life is suffering, life is pain.
You can't be alive and completely happy.
I'm not ready for release yet; I wan't to change this world while I'm in it. Wealty and power is better than happy and gone. I could use wealth and power to help other people and change the world. And though I might not be any happier if I were rich and powerful and my life might even be worse than the one I'm living, I choose the power to change the world over any other gift.
I've never experenced bliss. I can live without it any day. I hate to say that I like my suffering but like I said it's life.
