But you have to be careful... if you state your values too broadly, too all encompassing, they become vague, and make it harder to connect them to specific goals.

I have to add integrity but it has to be coupled with a good nature or tolerance which maybe seen as a contradiction.

That debate would be for the philosophy thread.

well, you have honesty, which could go into integrity, and tolerance fits fine in there, too.

I was surprised that being single was one of my basic sub-values, and not just a result of them.

Just on the face of it, I find "singledom" hard to integrate with "family" kind of values. Is there not a conflict here?

Then too, I do have a happy marriage, and value that. It ain't just the regular sex and the warm bed and the predawn snuggles; there's fulfilment in a good partnership. Some people have a very hard time finding a good partner, and others are simply awful partners themselves, incapable of a good marriage and with no business trying it.

Of the Heinleinian-style virtues, competence either makes independence, or is independence. Not sure which, nor sure I should be concerned, when there is the doing of it to be doing.

Well now I'm confused - is it boring or is it painful?

It could be both. Right now, it's slightly more interesting than boring.

Interesting + pain > 0
Boring + pain < 0

See?

on the face of it, perhaps. But even single people have families, and there's more to "family love" than the love between a husband and wife.
