Very very thought-provoking Georgiansilver. I live for God first. Then I try to be true to myself. Then I live for my fellow men and women, and I also live for wildlife and Nature. That's a tall order and I fail miserably a lot of the time. I suppose if I was expressing this in a moral philosophy sort of way, I'd say I lived for The Good. I gained much insight into all this from several nuns I've known over the years. If one clings to God and The Righteous Life, one is reasonably safe. But other, less ideal things drag one away at times (eg pleasure, money, greed, materialism, self-indulgence, excitement, sex etc etc) One can only try!
