The Ideal Dust

Angel Alyssa approached God with a request 'I'd like to become a mortal and go down to Earth. I want to live the life of a real human being.'
God granted the request on one condition 'You can't go alone. Life is pretty tough down there. You need a friend; a partner to accompany you. I will make you a companion, just as I have created all other human beings. I'll let you choose the dust which I would use to form him. But it comes at a price. Each dust you pick will either increase or decrease the earth years I am granting you. It's your decision'
So God lead Alyssa to the creation room filled with dusts of different colours, names, types and quantity. She went to the dust which was most in demand – the dust of 'Richness'.
'I'd like to start with this dust, how much would it cost me' she asked
'Well, it would just take away 5 earth years from your kitty' came the reply.
'Isn't that too much?' asked the angel.
'Well, the dust of richness does not come alone. You also have to buy the by products of hard work, stress and tension. It's a package deal. Though hard work is a good dust, the stress and tension are really tough and difficult to blend. So I'd have to charge you 5 earth years.'
'What about this other one – the dust called 'beauty and fame'? It seems interesting' inquired Alyssa.
'Oh, this dust is good and in high demand. Let's see, it would cost you around 3 earth years' came God's reply.
'But that's ridiculous; I would end up spending all my earth years in creating my companion itself. Why is this one so costly?'
'Well', explained God, 'Just like richness, this too has a by-product – a dust called EGO. No matter how hard I have tried to create this dust without the by product, I just can't separate them'
'So what's wrong with the 'ego' dust? Why does it reduce my earth years?' asked Alyssa.
'Well, my dear, once you have this dust in you, you spend a lot of energy and time in loving yourself more than loving others. You plan your life around yourself; everything you do is to satisfy your own spirit. When you think of yourself more than others, it reduces your earth years.'
Alyssa then walked up to another stack of dusts. 'What about these over here – I like the names 'Honesty', 'Trust', 'Simplicity', 'Respect', 'Honour'. How many earth years would I need to give up in return for these?
'My dear, these have an offer on them', said God. You get two earth years free on each of these dusts. You see, a person created with these dusts is able to easily overcome obstacles like failures, hatred, injustice and many such others. He has the power in him to cross these hurdles faster than others, so you get an increase in your earth years.'
'But God, there's one thing I don't understand. The dusts which are high in demand decrease my earth years while the ones having hardly any demand at all increase the years. Why so?'
And God explained 'Well, human beings tend to search for dusts without checking their success rate in achieving happiness in their life's journey. Sadly they realize this much later on, when it's too late for me to change the composition.'
'How do I know which of these dusts to choose to make my companion? Which would be the ideal combination for me?' asked Alyssa
'The ideal combination, my dear is the one which would perfectly match those used in creating you. But only I know which dusts have gone into forming you, hence only I would be able to concoct this ideal combination.'
And Alyssa concluded 'Then I leave it to you, God. You are my creator; you know what I am made of and what I need. You pick the dusts of your choice and ill accept this combination from you.'
