    Question Important

    What is the most important thing for you

    Does self preservation come before all?

    Do your friends come first?

    Does your family come first?

    after you say which one you choose
    Explain your reasoning

    why your choice is most important?

    i choose self preservation above all.
    who else do you have left when your friends are gone?
    and could you always expect your friends to back you up in a fight?

    Family comes first. It is a boring and sterile life when all you care about is self-preservation imo.

    To crush your enemies, see them driven before you, and to hear the lamentations of their women.

    To lead a quiet, happy life?
    Which would include both preservation and self-fulfil(l?)ment, especially the second in my case.
    Of course family and friends are important as well, but doesn't charity begin at home first? (Or rather at yourself?)

    It's not like I hadn't good friends I care about -in fact, I sh*t care and love my friends/family-, but this appears more evident to me.

    I tend to care too much for my friends and family and not enough for myself...According to my friends and family.

    My daughter comes first and above all. My self preservation comes after that, and my husband's well being as well. Then comes everything else.

    and that i understand it's a mother's obligation to take care of their child

    but the reason i i take care of myself first is because i have no strong family ties

    Myself, probably. But if I can see a way to save both myself and people I care about, I probably would take it even if it put me at a significant risk. An obvious suicide to save someone else however, that's not my thing.

    i'm focusing on your image
    can you hear me in the void?

    I tend to put others ahead of myself. I used to do it to such a high degree that I actually neglected my own well being and that was pretty dodgy. But I feel like, if I can help a bunch of people then hopefully they'll continue etc. There was a movie about it but the name escapes me. Oh wait, it's called Pay It Forward. Yeah, I try to do that. So far not much good luck has come back to me, but that's okay, I've seen evidence that my work is helping people so I'm good ^_^

    They see me rolling. They hating, patrolling.
    Trying to catch me riding dirty.

    Tacos! Just kidding, sort of. I prioritize having fun above all else. I won't do anything that's boring and if I get bored I'll just leave. Or try and make it fun.
