If you can use anything both tangible such as money, arms, legs, jewelery.....and intangible such as your beauty, longevity, love, health, friendship, your daughter/son......anything you can think of and as long as it does belong to you to exchange for something both tangible and intangible. You will exhange what for what?

This is a quite interesting topic for discussion. I believe nowadays most people tend to pursue wealth and social status and ignore certain values like health, love, peacefulness etc. But at the end they will find that money and status are temporary possessions.
I had watched Chinese soap opera with the title some sort like No 8 Pawn Shop a couple years ago. The main idea is quite similar to that of your discussion.
For me I rather use my extra money to exchange for health, love and spiritual peacefulness.

Hello, I'm a Chinese. I do mean the soap opera. But I don't know how to say pawn shop in English. Thank you for your reply. And I believe sometimes those intangibles such as love, health, friendship...are more important than anything eles.
