This is kind of like the Red Pill/Blue Pill question with a twist.
I am going to give you a choice to take a magic coin I have or walk away. If you take the coin you must toss it. If it comes up Heads, you get everything you could possibly want. You get the mansion, the fancy cars, the private island resort, essentially anything and everything you ever wanted or will want. If the toss comes up tails, you disappear. Not die, no going to heaven or hell, no afterlife or reincarnation, just oblivion. It would be as though you had never existed.
So, your choice, do you take the coin or not?

For me, I would leave the coin and walk away. The first time I had this question posed to me my knee jerk reaction was, hell yeah I'd take the coin. Then I thought about it and realized my life isn't so bad, and even if it did suck I could always change it for the better.
