There are many wants and needs in our lives. However, we have certain things which we consider above all these wants and needs of daily life? Personally I seek peace at all times. That is the only thing I really want. Don't get me wrong, I do have a lot of peace kin my life, but I value it more than any other thing. Peace with God and mankind is what I seek. What is the one thing you seek?

Wow, what a tough question. Peace is a good answer, and yes, I like to have peace in my life also. However if I have to pick one. I would have to say 'fulfillment'. Which I guess falls in the same category, depending how you look at it.

I would like my whole family to get together. We are scattered all over. Some are in the US, some in australia and many in various parts of India. Some are aged. This indeed is a far fetched dream. But nothing is impossible.

I am actually very happy in my life..I am fine, all my children and grandchildren live close and i am happier now than i ever was. Now that i'm retired i don't have to get up to work, i can relax and do whatever i want...In that way alone i am at peace. I come from the 60's where we always asked for peace, but as you can see, it hasn't really happened...so i live quietly as always, since i've done my share of protesting even keeping a low profile. One thing though..I wish people treated others as they would want to be treated!..Not enough Love

@Rosekitty Love would surely turn the world right side up.. we are badly tilted and twisted in our understanding and exercising of love. The world needs love now more than ever.

I wish to be content in my life and with those around me. I wish to make others happy and healthy. I wish my son had a better quality of life. I wish that everyday wasn't a struggle... just a few off every now and then would be nice. I really really wish I could see my dad before I no longer have a chance.

@sofssu Just one? My son's quality of life. My kids always come first. I don't care about my struggles but really hate when they are hurting.

@TLChimes contentment is a great choice too. But which 'one' would you choose? Its really difficult to choose one thing isn't it? I hope all your wishes come true .. especially the last one.

@SIMPLYD Aww.. sorry about that.. I personally have not really experienced sleeplessness. My head just has to touch the pillow.. and I am off to dreamland.
@sofssu (23662)

@SIMPLYD Yes, peace again.. and sleep peacefully. The lack of peace destroys physical health, normality of thought and action and restlessness in the soul. Great choice.

@sofssu What you said is exactly correct .. For example if a person leads a life with sufficient money , people , friends , clothes , vehicles but not with peace .. means he loses something important .. I also prefer the most is Peace ! ! !

@writerjo Great choice there.. not because I chose it..if there is no peace there is no meaning to this existence.

@Cristi_IchimIs that the one most important thing you seek in life - a career/profession? Doesn't sound so difficult to me since you are already qualified.. its just a matter of time before things happen.

Peace is good answer for your question. I would seek satisfaction in terms of work , happiness , family , study , childhood and adulthood.

I think satisfaction is the ultimate thing that one wants in one's life.It may be physical,social,physiological etc.It may differ from person to person.It may depend on situation,preference in life etc. But ultimately it's satisfaction that makes one's desires complete.

@akdch2 What you are satisfied with today becomes a need tomorrow. Today you are hungry and you have a feast.. that doesn't stop you from getting hungry tomorrow. Have you considered this?
