VALUE _ Verified and Aligned Link within with the Ultimate Entity
Probably there are four types of classes in each society, each performing duties according to their VALUE system... the majority take life as a challenge and try to meet it well.. another group try to see life a drama and act well ... yet another minority take life just as a game and play it ... few others try to realise life just as a Dream ... probably the verse from Gita, "Chathurvarnyam Maya Srishtam, Guna Karma Vibhagasa" (meaning all the four classes (races) are created by Lord Krishna to meet their own Value Systems or Themes deep within)
Probably not in all societies, but very few who can be counted with fingers of the hands enjoy the Life as Divine Love ...
Buddha, Christ, Muhammed, Sri Sankara, Jnaneswar, Chaithanya Mahaprabhu, Sri Ramakrishna Dev, Ramana Maharshi, Sri.Aurobindo, Chattambi Swamigal, Sree Narayana Guru ... they were probably like THAT ...
luv and SAI RAM,

The most important priority is Faith in GOD. without this the others are meaningless. With out GOD in your life you may think you have happiness but as one great man said all is vanity. This man had all the riches of the world, 300 wives and 700 concubine and still was not satisfied. He had people coming to him from all over the known world to gain knowledge because he was the wisest man known at that time and yet he felt at loss. With out GOD there is no satisfaction. GOD gives us the enlightenment for our soul. HE alone provides that by which we are to live and with out him we would not be.....

let's view it with respect to people's faith and beliefs....
if i place Faith in God at the forefront of these priorities... and in an atheist, agnotics logic... it would only wrought havoc for me. believing in God is against what i believe and not valid. so goes for Enlightenment of the Soul. i don't believe in God, i don't believe in the soul too (atheist belief, right?). therefore, i'd place Happiness in Life as first priority. however, in a christian's view, this is not so. how can you attain happiness in life without faith in the lord first? or enlightenment of the soul?. what to decide therefore?
best is to rephrase each ideas into one word...
FAITH
ENLIGHTENMENT
HAPPINESS
then
WISDOM
COMPASSION
HUMILITY
RESPECT
PATIENCE
PERSEVERANCE
forgive my editing your phrases... what i did was to slice it for general commonality and not intended for just one person alone. that way, chaos would not be created...
ciao.

All of those are classed under Goodness. It is because it is a good that people seek those things.
