Should Principles Be Compromised?
Tuesday, September 19th, 2006Is it really worth sticking strongly to one’s principles even when consequences of that is not in one’s favor?
I find myself being stubborn, as a result of believing too strongly in upholding my principles in life. Because it’s so subjective, i’m often viewed as being inflexible on occasions, and it’s worse when it is easy to be proven i would be on the losing end by not doing politically-correct things simply because that would be against my principles! Acquaintance asked, "Does it pay to stick to your principles and forgo beneficial opportunities? Why be so stubborn and not look at the bigger picture?"
i ask myself, "Should i try compromising on my principles to make paths in my life an easier walk?"
