Each of us builds our life in our own, very specific way, where our personal core, our personal potential, our life positions, life values are decisive and life strategies, their usual personal tools. A way of life can be both a stable personality trait and a characteristic of a specific behavior that changes depending on the situation and other factors.
In any case, the way people live can be divided into many categories, including Human or Healthy Animal, Doer and Parasite, Doer and Experiencer, Author and Victim, Processors and Resultists, Owls and Larks, Introverts and Extroverts, Passenger, Projectile, Rocket, Sailboat, Sputnik (the typology was proposed by Prof. N.I. Kozlov.) as options for life strategies, one can single out the male and female way of life.
The ethical typology of personality defines four fundamental personality types that differ in their ethical way of life: Consumer, Parasite, Romantic and Creator. The consumer lives at his own expense, the Parasite lives at someone else’s. A romantic dreams of helping others, the Creator creates real conditions for this.
If I’m not for myself, then who am I for? If I am only for myself, then who am I for? If not now, then when?

For example, a person usually behaves like a Romantic, in a particular situation behaves like a Creator, while his dream and goal may be the life of a Consumer.
