What do you put above all else?

Pizza.

NationStates.

No, not really. I don't have a priority in life.

Hmm, you left out 'Me' as an option.

Friends and family hands down. I never really thought about it till i lost a couple of em...

how could anything be more important than your family and friends?

Family.friends' and the basic necessities of life to live. Everything else is a privelage. Oh yeah, beer too.

wewt...first person and so far only person to vote with selfishness.

It's hard to say. I'd have to say non-violence, but it isn't possible to separate that from freedom and equality, which are simply parts of the same thing.

With enough wealth, you can buy power, friends, and make your own religion!

Not friends. Just hangers-on and syncophants. Real friends don't care how much money you have.

Mine are.
1. Power
2. Wealth
3. Winning
4. Friends

I'd argue that both life and freedom are most important.

Without life, nothing else matters, and life isn't much worth living unless you've got a solid set of liberties at hand.

I'd say Family and friends are the most important to me!

My friends, who in a real sense are also my "family" and also, my "extentions". My health and general state of well-being are also very important to me.

My power is internalized - the truest power. Wealth? Wealth is a state of mind - you're as weathy as you think you are.

power. the most important thing to me is becoming powerful, in terms of establishing my own independence and making myself the best possible person i can be. power doesn't need to mean control over others, though i have found that when i use my full potential people are very likely to place themselves in my power simply because i tend to do good things that people are happy to go along with.

wealth is only important in the sense that i need enough wealth to be able to do what i want with my life, and i want to always get paid as much as i deserve. but i don't need wealth for its own sake, nor would i want the sort of power or friends that you can buy.

family isn't important to me as much as my emotional ties are; i don't give a damn if i am biologically related to somebody, i care if they are an important person in my life. i love my brother and my parents because of the ways they have been in my life, and i love my friends much the same. i have three friends who have been fixtures in my life for longer than my brother has been alive, and i consider them as important as my family because we have chosen each other rather than just being thrown together by accident of birth.

religion isn't even worth mentioning, since it's as important to me as drug addiction. religion is important only in that it is something to be avoided.

my lover is probably the one wild card; i would do pretty much anything for him, and i can't honestly say what i would do if he asked me to give up one of the other things in my life. i would like to hope i could be strong enough to say "no," but love does weird things to even the most rational of people.

Hmm, you left out 'Me' as an option.

Well, technically, that could fit into the 'Other' category.

Family and freinds.
All else is merely fleeting.
