choose from the options below and reason out. is it the knowledge based on,
1) education
2)experience
3)earning money
4) relationship
5) god or spirituality
i feel the most gross form of knowledge needed is good education then using this will brin money, relationship and experience, but not spirituality. but when we choose spirtuality i think all the others do not as muc matter as you will experince happiness and contentment even if u dont get any of the others. what do u feel.

As long as you seek materialistic life you will not have contended happy life. Desire is the root cause of all evil in the world. As long as you don't of desire you lead happy life. Spirituality helps you to become desireless life.

I think it is not only one or two as you have stated. But it is the combination of all the varieties you have written. Thanks.

Money isn't knowledge, having money doesn't always resort in knowledge because someone with money can be a very dangerous mix and not always smart. (being picky) sorry.
Experience is important. You need to learn from that so I guess I would say that :)
Education is important but you learn from experience which is often a great source. Most people learn more from making mistakes which comes with experience :)

I believe numbers 5 and 4, respectively, will lead one to the greatest possible fulfillment in life...'Hearing that Jesus had silenced the Sadducees, the Pharisees got together. One of them, an expert in the law, tested him with this question: "Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the Law?" Jesus replied: "'Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.' This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: 'Love your neighbor as yourself.' All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments."' (Matthew 22:34-40)
