Comments on: What do you value about life? http://alyssasudds.wordpress.com/2008/03/06/what-do-you-value-about-life/ I'm just a girl trying to make her mark on this world Fri, 12 Sep 2008 16:31:18 +0000 http://wordpress.com/ hourly 1 By: David http://alyssasudds.wordpress.com/2008/03/06/what-do-you-value-about-life/#comment-56 David Sat, 08 Mar 2008 15:40:03 +0000 http://alyssasudds.wordpress.com/?p=47#comment-56 Alyssa I swear I picked these without looking at your answers and we got three the same. We must think alike. :P My first five choices: * knowledge * love * freedom * respect * creativity After reading the choices, I picked knowledge first because I believe that it is essential to seek new information and ideas so we can make well-informed decisions and accomplish new things. I think through knowledge and learning we can improve ourselves and protect our liberty. I don't think it is really important which value we pick first. I mean how can we have one value that is more important than the rest when each value is dependent on other values? I believe you're right about freedom being essential to life but can you have freedom without justice? What if someone falsely accuses you of a crime? Without justice you could lose your freedom to do many things. Can you have justice or freedom without respect? Integrity? Etc. It is the same with knowledge or any other value; I think each value is dependent on other values and so no value is above the rest we believe in. Anyway just a thought. Great blog.

My first five choices:
* knowledge
* love
* freedom
* respect
* creativity

After reading the choices, I picked knowledge first because I believe that it is essential to seek new information and ideas so we can make well-informed decisions and accomplish new things. I think through knowledge and learning we can improve ourselves and protect our liberty.

I don’t think it is really important which value we pick first. I mean how can we have one value that is more important than the rest when each value is dependent on other values? I believe you’re right about freedom being essential to life but can you have freedom without justice? What if someone falsely accuses you of a crime? Without justice you could lose your freedom to do many things. Can you have justice or freedom without respect? Integrity? Etc. It is the same with knowledge or any other value; I think each value is dependent on other values and so no value is above the rest we believe in.

Anyway just a thought. Great blog.
