of personal freedom is what is most important and I base my decisions on that factor. What about you-what is the core that you base your decisions on?

For me, sincerity is the most important basis of my decisions. Within and from Sincerity, there is truth and realism. Like what makes a good person/friend/teacher etc? I think its sincerity, that the person is geniune to him/herself and others and so whatever he/she does comes from the heart. For a knowledgeable man without sincerity would only put his knowledge into selfish usage.

Beyond mere sustenance, human life is about experience and reflection upon it. From that comes a focus on what, within my power to influence, will enrich the lives of the most. Insight, understanding, which is more than knowledge though it stems from it. That leads to a sense of connection with all things. So that entails opposing what diminishes others - whether it is domination, exploitation, or delusion (which is an illusion held beyond examination, evidence or debate). I think unconsidered freedom can be narcissistic and myopic - but freedom, and the will, to explore and grow is essential to human life.

Justice. I base all my life decisions on what is fair and good for the most amount of people involved. I have a very distinct sense of right and wrong and try to help people as much as possible. Great question!!!

I value my sense of self the highest. That is related to personal freedom because you can't have that without a sense of self.

It's the principle of the matter that counts. I could get on a soap box and give it all for the principle, it can be a strong, driving force.

Honour. I will try to avoid a discrediting act if at all possible.
Hope this helps.

Joy and Love. Maybe not all that much, but there's got to be some in my life.

Knowledge is important to me, but I'm too lazy to acheive that. So, I guess, doing nothing is more important to me.

Content rather than form.... as a result, beauty, looks, manners or habits, behaviour etc. do not influence my judgement and actions.
