Priorities

I wrote this a while back on my FB page, but that was long before I started  blogging. So here it is, I like it.


Priorities. That is the key. We all want to do everything we want to do exactly when we want it done. Asking me if I want to go to the movies is hardly a question worth asking because of course I want to go to the movies. No, the question you want the answer to is whether or not that desire to watch a movie supercedes my desire to sleep, or whatever else I may also want at the time. With everything in life it is healthy to have a good sense of ones priorities. A “plan” could simply be a list of such priorities. In moral and ethical dilemas those priorities will come to an absolute and logical end result. If justice for the victims of a crime is prioritized higher than the golden rule than the question of the death penalty is an obvious yes. If you prioritize sex in a relationship over conversation then getting drunk is a very beneficial opportunity.
