Poll doesn't include 'looking for some, forget the rest'.
Inner peace-definitely. Turmoil takes its toll. It'd be nice to say "I have what I've been searching for-hand me a glass of wine."
Certain Hope Beyond Death: I'm a bit jaded there. 90% of me goes with the wormfood theory, which really scares the shit out of me, quite honestly.
Everyone is trying to make sense of their troubles: Eh, sometimes you can't. Best one can do is work on them, learn from them and move on. If we can teach others from our mistakes, better yet. So I don't try to make sense except to figure out where I fucked up.
Unconditional love: Is a myth. We will always disappoint someone, no matter how much we claim to love them and they us. Depending on our faults, they can be overlooked or picked on by loved ones. If you think you have unconditional love from someone, do something to let them down and see how unconditional it really is. As Fredweena said, get a dog. And even they've been known to take a hike.
The secret to true happiness: Also a myth. We have to grab happiness when it comes our way, remember it, embrace it. There is no secret and there is no 'true'. Best we can strive for is contentment with as little regret as possible.
