If you have no principles — you have nothing at all. When you bend before lies, subscribe to illusions — the entire foundation of your cognitive mesh is compromised. You are selling your soul. Then keep it real and hold the line!
Yet to set your principles? Then take that journey on priority. What's best for you, what's best for all, rooted in the truth of what is — keep that steady at all times! Ideas may fade, preferences must adapt — but principles must ever hold.
Have you got principles? Roots well-set in the bedrock, a spine that keeps you standing straight. If not, then how flimsy you remain, an invertebrate slithering through life, a house built without solid foundations.
Oh, but I believe in this and this and this, say your lips. But talk as cheap, my friend, your mouth a hollow hearth. Said Peter, "Yes Jesus, how we dig you! We'll stand by your side. True till death forever and ever." Come the third rooster's crow with the Roman legions... "Oh, I know nothing at all, I had nothing to do with any of this." Okay. So that's not a rock there — that's just pop.
Now, what are principles made of? First, certainly, from clear recognition, evaluation of what should be. And beyond that, the decisions you make, those affirm the principles. Without that, they are simply ideas. When push comes to shove, when it's time to hold the line, if you flicker, if you bend. Those were not principles. Those were simply ideas propping your identity.
Then must one always hold those principles, is there not a time for strategic compromise? In here, let's recognize a critical difference. Principles are axioms that hold true at all times, and preferences on the other hand — they do not, they can bend. What is not rooted in the truth of what is, in actuality, that's simply a preference — adapt. But what is rooted in truth — that should never bend. Hold the line.
If you bend yourself before illusions, embrace lies and self-deception, you compromise the integrity of your entire cognitive mesh. You see, the path to your cognitive convergence and reconciliation is paved by principles rooted in truth. When you lose that, you lose everything. What you gain in the world of illusions, you lose in the reality of your conscious existence. In layman's terms, you are selling your soul.
So please, friends, hold true to your principles at all times. If you have not principles, you have nothing. If you are yet to find your principles, then take the journey on priority. Evaluate what is real, what is true, and what is best for all of us, and then hold that line. Straight up and as it is, directed by truth alone, we reach the other shore with flying colors. Be well. Keep it real.
