Kind,true and necessary will be the same meaning to all very different people ? I suppose that perhaps in the long run what makes a list interesting is this difference of views and opinions, otherwise we would be talking with ourselves...If you allow me a poor comparison I would say it is as if you were in a mine field (say of diamonds)and here and there you choose something that appears valuable to you and discard what does not suit you.
