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.

Thanks UT. I saw that message in my email notification, and it definitely doesn't belong here.

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.

To paraphrase George Carlin, when you're going to vomit, you don't care about your shoes.

For me, it definitely depends on the situation. If I'm hungry, then food is my top priority, even if the building is on fire. If I've been drinking lots of beer and water, relief might be my top priority.

Other than that I don't think I have priorities.
