I have what I would consider to be a hierarchy of desire. There are the very important things at the top that I refuse to do without, that I am willing to sacrifice other desires for, and at the bottom are things that I might enjoy but don't necessarily feel that I need. Whenever I pursue a desire this hierarchy is taken into consideration. If lower desires don't come into conflict with the higher ones, I pursue them at my leisure, but if something I want gets in the way of something I need, then I sacrifice the lower desire. To me it's all a matter of having one's priorities established.
