Holding firm to principles: It is always right

Each one of us has a unique set of principles, beliefs and a way of carrying on with the business of being part of this world. Although each of one of these elements may not be unique on its own, the set itself is unique. We may call this a doctrine that determines to a large degree our path in life. Our own doctrine changes over time as we go through the different phases of life, meeting and interacting with people, experiencing love, doubts, hurt and hatred and above all going through struggle with others who try to dominate or steer us in a certain way.

Many come under pressure to relinquish some or many of their principles and rights to please those who seek dominance over them. It happens when you live under an authoritarian regime or a life partner who lays out conditions to keep up a relationship you fear to lose.

The interesting part about all this is that it pays to defy that manipulation and hold firm to your principles. Simply put it! It is not worth to live as a slave.
