Priorities

Are you likely to change them based on your situation?

yes, some of them - of course there are things one may not be willing to compromise on.

I know. Hence the "depends on the situation" option.

Really. Sometimes, a friend can turn out to be just a con artist.

Or, if not quite a con artist, maybe a friend could just turn out to be bad for you.

I agree with Cloud, there are varying levels of priorities. Regardless, all of them can change, because circumstances are always changing.

I think your question is too vague, sorry, because there are BIG priorities, and little priorities.

Call them goals, or life views, but the big ones tend to stay constant once we get into adulthood. Can they change? Sure. Should they change, if circumstances warrant? Absolutely, in my view. I'm not honestly sure what "situations" you are considering, since there's not much to go on here, but handling change well is a valuable life skill, and we should be able to change, if need be.

Obviously the "little" priorities are changed more often. One's priorities on a lazy Saturday will be different from a hectic Monday at work.

You just validated my question. I'm not trying to to exact here.

So if your priority was to pick up a latte for Jinx on the way home, and you walked in on an armed robbery, you wouldn't change your priority to getting your ass out of there alive?

531.1, 519.6, 578.7 and it only took me like 45 mins of beating on the poor penguin.
