Money, fame or happiness, you can only have one... what would you rather have and why?

Money means nothing to the Valar, we needed no such thing before we came to Arda, we did not need it afterwards and we did not need it when the Eldar came to Valinor.
Money is a creation of Middle-earth, made to simplify the process of trading though methinks it has generated much complications of it's own.

Fame is an unavoidable fact of divinity. I am a Vala, one of the Powers of Arda and even more so, I am one whom the peoples of Middle Earth call upon for aid. In such a role fame is something that is merely a part of life.
Would I wish for anonymity? That is like asking whether I would wish to leave my duties as one of the protectors of Ilúvatar's Children. I would not abandon my duties so fame is not something I will ever be without.

Happiness however is something all beings of Arda deserve. I would wish to see all that lives have happiness in their lives if I could but in this world, with the flaws that were inflicted in it true happiness is rare thing. I would still hope however that as many of the Children have some small happiness to comfort them through their lives.
