I wasn't sure if this was a topic for D&D or E/N, but in the end I opted to post here. I've had a number of dilemmas recently in which I didn't know what choice was the correct one. They were dilemmas precisely because both sides could have healthy defences, and neither would seem "wrong". To give a flavour, these were questions like "do you want to live near your family [and cultivate healthy, closer relationships with them]" or "do you want to live abroad [and make new connections, develop cultural awareness and a deeper understanding of the world"? Or, "do you want to work very demanding hours in a tough profession [to increase your earning power and savings and make later life more certain and comfortable]" or "do you want to follow your (less well-remunerated) passion [and find your life's work meaningful and stimulating, beyond a paycheque]"? I'm sure you all have opinions on the specific examples, but that's beside the point. In those two examples, I think I could rationalise either course of action and not feel like a terrible person. But I find I'm lacking a framework to actually make these decisions: I don't know what I value. How did you (or does one) determine what is valuable in life?

I suppose my particular issue is ordering the list. There are a lot of mutually exclusive “ties”.
