The Answer


Nothing!

What is it--
That we love more than life,
Fear more than death,
The rich want it,
The poor have it,
The miser spends it,
And the spend'rift saves it?

OH MY GOSH!!! I am SHOUTING to Greg from the computer! I am AMAZED! That is the BEST riddle EVER! At first I was like, "NOTHING! What do you MEAN nothing!" Then I read it to Greg and the loudness of my voice increased with each line as I realized that it worked and by the end I was shouting. Man! I feel rejuvenated! Thanks!

I am now realizing as we were trying to figure it out I kept saying, "But there's NOTHING we fear more than death! There's NOTHING we love more than life. WHAT could it be?" HILARIOUS!!!

was wondering what the answer was too. Was that the Sphynx's riddle? I could have sworn I have read it in a book somewhere...
