Love or money which is better?
Love. People who choose money are doing it out of love for money, so really love wins in both cases.

Why are fools and fanatics always so certain of themselves, but wiser people are full of doubts?
Because fools/fanatics see 1 dimension to every problem, whereas wise people have foresight and can determine different outcomes - so doubts surface about what steps to take in order to reach the desired outcome.

What is the fundamental flaw in human nature? Pride - or greed? Pride in it's best case scenario can create the most beautiful art, but greed in it's best days only serves to accumulate more worth attributed to yourself or your cause. So I say greed is worse

Why do all bad things come to an end? Because with time everything changes.

If those you love do not live forever, then it is a curse.

What is more important to you: Doing the right thing because it is the right thing to do, or maximizing happiness, even though that may not involve doing the right thing?
Maximizing happiness but not doing the right thing is like stealing oil from a nation to please your needs but slaughtering their citizens in the process. The right thing is ALWAYS the right thing, no matter if it makes you happy or not.

Do we have a "right" to be happy?
"Rights" seem to be things that are allowed to us by a higher power or group. Happiness starts within ourselves, and nowhere else. So while we technically don't have a "right" to be happy, there is no way it should be classified as a "right" in the first place. It is a neccessary emotion to live fully.

If people fear the unknown, then what is curiosity?

Compassion. If a cancer patient is fighting his hardest and the doctor learns he has a 10% chance to live - I would not tell the patient that.

Do you believe that the majority of people in the world form their beliefs for themselves based upon what they feel, know, and experience, or do most people just believe based on what they want to believe or are told to believe? Either way, why?
Everything someone knows is because that's the way they have perceived it, quite simply

What do you feel you are entitled to in life?
Personally? It doesn't matter

Is life serious?
It's forced to feel that way as you age. Society does it to you.
