    I did not put options like religion or life itself because I wanted to avoid selections that are encompassing.

    I don't see these as discrete choices.

    If I'm happy, that usually means I'm paying attention all but the material.

    Virtue/ethics and knowledge/truth are inseparable.

    They aren't meant to be completely discrete - I think that type of categorization would be impossible given how woven and interconnected life values are. Rather, given that you have these six frames of before you, which ultimately makes your decisions.

    Not sure ethics and truth are inseparable. I think it's ethical for an attorney to do their job, even if that ultimately obsfucates the 'truth.'

    I would give up all of them for family, so family comes first.

    The way I think, I see ethics as what things should/can be and truth as what the situation has become.

    Maybe family/friends when I'm older but knowledge for now.
