What the hell are you thinking?
Human relationships need to be human in essence and they need 
the warmth and the time to nurture on and to develop. They need no prioritisation and no emergency setting: they are always important and always immediate to deal with. Love, family, friends: once you balance their importance under the one of work means taking a step on a path that can lead to much grief.
I used to believe in the dignity of the individual, in his/her capacity to live life as seen fit. My belief has stayed the same, with one addition: I live my life fit to hurting nobody else but myself.
Latest news and my melody for the night: Apocalyptica is having a concert in Bucharest on the 31st of May and I'm going. You can find tickets here. Now I'm switching back to one of their most well-known songs: Path II, sung together with Sandra Nasic of the Guano Apes (widely acclaimed for their Open Your Mind; I'll have another post cover for that one).
So boundless I feel and boundless all my fears
Stop running back to old times
Stop running back to old times
You lose your routine... cause I found my path

Yes, you are so right, "Human relationships need to be human in essence" and it is human to hurt and to get hurt as it is human to strive for more and to want to become more then you are.
While not hurting anyone seems noble at start, it might just be the inability to take the responsibility of changing the people around you and your own life. In my personal experience, change hurts. And as we all are ( or hope we are ) social beings, it is almost impossible to change your life without hurting others, or at least without others feeling that they are hurt by you.
We are filled with blood and it will flow, just try to keep in mind that it is blood that you shed, and that it hurts, and that you are human, and "not hurting anyone" in anything but human.... it is one of all so hated my be social illusions.
And an other thing, as you very well might have experienced, is that the good things for a lot of people involves a lot of pain, and not pushing them to what is better for them just not to hurt them is on other selfish thing.
As for the "Human relationships (...) They need no prioritisation...." boy o boy... they do. Human relationships are just an other thing that we have to work at. The common social illusion that we are trained to see , that love and friendship "just flows" and that they need no work is as far from the truth as it can get. it is why people "wait" for love and happiness and seem never to really get it. As it is not excluded that it might just "happen" , as a medium and long term relation, be it love or friendship, a serious amount of work is needed. Please note that I am talking about love and not being in love.
Hope you went the concert. :-P Sneak peek.
Yep, I went to the concert and it was SUUUPER!
