I've seen a couple of topics about personal inquiries (height, sexuality, etc.) lately, and I know they tend to be very popular on dS due to the fact that pretty much everybody likes talking about themselves when asked.
My problem with those topics is that they're always the same boring questions, so here's one that could actually tell us something new about each other.

What do you value? I know such a thing usually depends on context, but what are the things you generally hold most important?

You can answer in two ways:

A: Pleb mode
- Name 1-3 things that you feel are the most important.

B: 2deep4u mode
- Name 1-3 things that you think (HA HA time for logic) are the most important, then explain why.

I'll post mine later, to avoid stretching the first post and scaring off users who don't like reading.

I'm gonna go pleb mode because my thoughts aren't coming into my head right now .-.

Personality, Looks and Relationship.

To clarify, I'm not just talking about personal attributes. This topic is about any and all things.

Just ignore this post if you already got that.

I guess I'll go 2deep4u mode.

1. Above all I value efficiency. Efficiency in anything means doing the right things, choosing the right tool for the job, reacting to outside stimuli in the best possible way to change things the way you want them to be.
This could be seen as a mathematical, cold way to think about things, but efficiency can be applied absolutely anywhere. Love, relationships, debating, playing games, working out, etc. depending on your own motivations.
If what you want is love, it is efficient to keep your relationships going as well as you can. If you are sick, the best medicine is the most efficient one.
Only when we act most efficiently in any given situation do we reach our full potential. And that is what I think is important in life. Otherwise the time you have goes to waste. This value is also heavily reflected in the rest of the things I will list.

2. I value ability. We are our only resource. Anything else we do/make depends on our ability to work well with any given subject/task/situation. People like to think we are all equal, and that is a comforting (if a bit naive) idea, but in the end we are all ranked by our capabilities, what we can do.
Also, by "ablity" I don't just mean personal skills, ability can be attained by other means.
For example, human beings can't learn to breath in water, but we are able to go underwater thanks to scuba-gear, which we made. We can't learn to fly, but we are able to thanks to airplanes, gliders, etc. which we made. We can't learn to travel between celestial bodies, but we are able to thanks to modern technology, which we created.

3. I value health. Physical fortitude equals mental fortitude, that's no lie. In a world where everything you have is materia and your body - you - is your only true posession which will stick with you from your birth to your dying day it's imperative to keep it in good shape.
I always try to encourage others to do the same, if only just for the fact that it's one of the best feelings in the world. Pushing past your limits and then realizing that you made it happen, not your friend, not the guy next to you, but you yourself. Hell, it's better than sex. I wish everybody knew that feeling.

Glad to see someone understood what the option B was about.
