Last time I ran the survey, it gave me only *one* choice, no way to add
comments... Damn hard to put down one top priority without it sounding like
your overriding goal in life.

True. I forgot what I put, but was like "wait! I'm not a selfish person!!"

Re #24: Can you expand on the difference between friends and a
social life? What, for instance, would it mean to have one but
not the other?

Hmm... I've been doing a lot of thinking about my last response, and decided
I'm not very happy with it. The ranking I gave things in there are in the
order I allocate my time in in everyday life. Still, if there were a
situation where at a particular time my family really needed me, and work
really needed me, there is no question that my family would come first.

I'd have trouble deciding on this one -- I mean, I'm the sole support of my
family, so choosing between family and job would be hard. One depends on the
other. And my family consists of a son living with me, a son living in
Europe, and a husband who is a newcoewr to the family unit. What they need
from me is very different. So family wouldn't work as a single unit.
*sigh* I guess I juggle priorities and whoever needs me most right now comes
to the top of the queue.

Interesting question, and a strange ordering of the list that inspired the
opening poster back in 1995. Ultimately, a numbered list is inadequate to
explain the whats and whys that make a person who they are, but here is my
personal take.
#1. Jesus Christ. I don't want to sound like the Church Lady, but He makes
and gives meaning to all the other items, including me.
#2. Wife and children. Almost all of the concrete things I do for #1 are
expressed here and in the other items.
#3. Church. Includes both church friends and communal prayer and
worship. Practically, on a case-by-case basis, this varies a lot,
from #3 down to below #6.
#4. Other family
#5. Job. As a means of materially supporting the rest. A list of
"sources of self-satisfaction" would be the same except for this
item dropping to the bottom.
#6. Friends
#7. Hobbies. PROGRAMMING!
#8. Cyber-friends. Sorry guys, you're wonderful people, but just a
stream of text makes a weak connection. Cyber-fiends I have met in
real life, or with whom I've had a lot of on-line history get
promoted to #6.
A lot of conflict and exceptions in gray areas where priorities conflict
between adjacent categories.

resp:13 bubu's survey (and his whole directory) are long gone. A survey
generator would be fun if there were a few more of us using Fronttalk.
resp:41 I note that all the above categories represent positive
motivations, things I want to do and enjoy spending time on, with the
exception of work. There are also other categories that have neutral or
negative motivation that still require time and effort, such as
complying with laws, support for state/nation/country, or helping
strangers. Some of these may derive from the positive enumerated
priorities above.

Your list is, I believe, spot on both in content and in order. Even if you
were to take out #1 and #3 for the non-religious (or replace them with some
other religious form), this list would be an exceptional guide to living a
joy-filled life.
