What do you value more?

BC · November 21, 2014, 04:18:46 PM

Your happiness, or your bestfriend/family members/child's happiness.

If you had to choose between you being genuinely happy, or any of those people who matters to you the most being genuinely happy, what would you choose?

In my book, family before me, same with good friends. Id much rather suffer then have one of my family members suffer

Same here. If every person was selfless, the world would be so different.

Now, would I be happy? Well, making your spouse or child happy is its own reward.

I just hope making other people happy always appears worthwhile to me.

Because of Christ I have no void anymore, and my life isnt my own anyways.

Humility can break any fortress.
So you know what? If I boast of myself, break me back down God. Then build me up again.

Every day, every way: humble yourself

I lean more towards the other peoples happiness, even if I don't know them. I have a very bubbly personality. I like to make people happy and laugh because I know what it's like to be down. Also seeing the other people happy will in turn bring me joy.

Definitely my happiness.

Making other people makes me happy.

So I value making other people happy more when I can, because I get a kick out of it.

Hard to say. I'm a very private individual, so I tend to keep to myself and I avoid interacting with people who aren't friends (like strangers or extended family.) So, on the whole, I work towards my own contentment. However, I do care deeply about the people I do consider friends, and I would put their interest before mine in most scenarios.

Hey, at least I'm honest. We're all the most important person respective to ourselves.

I wasn't saying anything bad, I was just saying you were the only one to go for themselves

True, but it just so happens I benefit from making others happy.

You could see it as almost a psychopathic trait, but it certainly helps.
