What do you want that you can't buy?

In the spirit of Christmas, let's selfishly talk about gifts that we want to receive.

What's one thing that you want but can't buy?

I'm not talking about things you can't afford, but the things that literally can't be bought.

For example, if I could pay some company $1,000 to require half as much sleep I would do it in a heartbeat (and probably would at 10 or 100 times the price as well).

Name your item and your price.

Omniscience.

But I probably wouldn't want that all at once. Then I'd be bored.

So a wikipedia that had all the answers.

Although that would take the mystery and uncertainty out of life, which could make things boring.

Those who can, do. Those who can't, post threads about how to do it on WSO.
