    Question The most precious gift.....

    So I got to wondering what I would consider would be the most precious gift.
    I cannot quite decide myself, though I came up with several possibilities. Please let me know what you think.

    Silly answers welcome a little, but this is a serious philosophical question as well. Please show your workings.

    Love

    P.S.
    I have a pop-up saying that my answer is too short... apparently love alone isn't enough for the computer

    How bout a second chance at life!?

    You die so donate your organs, provided they are still in working order.

    Offer up a kidney or lung for someone.

    You can't get more precious than life.

    Sterling question. Thanks for asking. Coming from a German, "freedom" will probably not strike you as an overly surprising answer.

    Love makes it possible to endure the loss or lack of any or all of the other things.

    I voted good health. The rest are things you can work on, but good health is what you have or have not.
    My mother and my brother have chronix illnesses, and i have seen the effects of that.
    Good health is priceless.
