If you are coming up low on one of the criteria areas, from above, are you: using something else and giving it more weight, using something that wasn't on the list, are you just rationalizing, or is this something you never questioned? I am using something else besides the opening list to judge quality of life

Or is your quality of life intertwined with your religion and perception of G.d. In other words, whatever comes your way, might lessen the quality for some people, but for you, you tell yourself that this is the way G.d wants it, therefore not altering your quality of life? Yes
