I'm not living my life in a noble way, and I can't decide how to change. I can't figure what matters the most. If furthering knowledge is more important than saving lives for example. I'm stuck in a purgatory of my own making.
You are being pretty hard on yourself. Your choice of the word "noble" tells me that someone has taught you to set very high standards for yourself and that you feel that you are not measuring up. If this is correct (or close), I think that the remarks of others in their reply to you are giving you permission to choose some other words (such as honorable, respectable, compassionate, trustworthy) by which to measure yourself. I would add that it is not what you do (for a living), but who you are and how you treat others that will tell you whether you are living a noble life.
Best wishes.
