This is a purely psychological question, and i do NOT wish to judge you, or for others to judge you, but if you would list your top 6 priorities in life, from what you feel is " most important " to " least important" I think it would help us learn about ourselves and others, as well as contribute to our Craft ideas...
Here's mine:
1. Peace ( Nonviolence) 2. My family 3. My friends 4. My civil rights 5. Those i love, who are not yet my family 6. Wicca ( any religion would be number 6 for me)

Hey, good job on this forum, you really made me sit down and think about this.
1. The people I would die for 2/3. Wicca/My principles (They're tied for 2nd. They also sort of tie into each other) 4. My emotional/mental well-being (which sort of includes my freedoms, because I wouldn't be too happy if I wasn't allowed to be myself and express myself) 5. My physical well-being 6. Helping others (would be further up, but I sort of need to be well emotionally, mentally and physically if I am to help another person)

I've never actually thought about this, so it might be a little off, but this is what I can think of now.
1) My real friends that I know would never do anything to hurt me. 2) Keeping nature in tact (including animals and all that.) 3) Being myself/ Keeping my rights (These go together for me because I couldn't be myself without having my civil rights.) 4) Becoming more in tune with nature (Basically, my religion and spirituality) 5) My pets and other animals I care about (Dead and living) 6) Learning
Wow...that was a lot harder than I thought it would be...and I'm still not sure if that's exactly right, but oh well, close enough.

okay, the way I number this might make me seem selfis and crude but in reality this is how my life is and I''m anti-social and tend not to bond with others well.
1. Animals. They listen to me and respect my boundries. 2. My mental and Physical well being. I am level headed most of the time and it is hard to get me completely angry. I might be frustrated but rarely angry. 3. Friends. They never really hurt me emotionally and they aren''t always around. 4. Family. Yes, I do not bond well with any of them. I am a total outcast in my family. I never cry when a family member dies. 5. Solitude. Like I said before I like my privacy and to stay away from others. I would rather spend a day in my room reading then to go to Disney World. 6. Paganism and My studies. I try hard in school and religion. I take my time on everything and slow down purposly when I am rushed.
Again, please do not think that I am some selfish teen. I just have no respect for most people because they push to far and want everything. I believe I am the only one in my family who could sit for five hours and say nothing. do nothing, just observe.

I like solitude myself. And agreed, I would rather sit in my big comfy chair and read than go to Disney World (which, contrary to popular belief, is not the happiest place on earth. The happiest place on earth has neither long lines, nor small children puking xp ) I am generally social, but only because I have to be, and I get very angry if people just will not leave me alone. So I completely understand how stupid people can be. Just letting you know that there's no reason to think you're selfish just because you like to spend time alone.

People tell me that all the time but others still say that when my pepe (grandpa) died and I never shed a tear but when my rat died I stayed home from school sick with greif that I was selfish...

I can't say I have any heirarchical priorities. But I think that every human on the planet should list this as number one:
1) SURVIVAL. Simply getting along in life and navigating its challenges sucessfully, be it for preservation of ones life or preservation of ones livlihood.
That one point covers all six points that everybody has listed on all of their life priorities. It's for this reason that I have difficulty holding strong hatred towards anyone or anything. We are all simply trying to survie and get along in life.

1. Integrity 2. Flexibility, ability to comprimise; others' happiness 3. Self-love; confidence 4. Wicca; my beliefs 5. Speaking with good purpose; sharing opinions with respect 6. Eviroment; animal rights; Nature's well being
I'm not sure if these are really in order...but these are the things I care about.

1. Sensible and unbiased reasoning (Which will always eventually formulate my religion and beliefs somewhere down the line.) 2. Development/realization of myself as an individual. 3. Survival (I do not place this as number 1 because I would not prefer to continue to live without a good reason why I shouldn't die, and I would have no distaste of being recognized as being of the dead as part of who I am anyway when I am some day in that position.) 4. The well-being and mental/spiritual growth of friends and loved ones. 5. The well-being and mental/spiritual growth of anyone in need of it. 6. The entertainment and comfort of all those mentioned in 4 & 5.
Of course, with sensibility and lack of bias in my outlook of things being my highest priority, everything else is of course subject to change. ^^;

1. Learning as much about anything from anyone that I can 2. Teaching what I know to people who don't know it 3. The people who choose me, just because I'm me 4. Loving as fully and deeply as I can 5. Being honest to myself and to everyone around me 6. Not being lonely...
