Do u think it is better to stand to your point and live your own way or to compromise with your friends?

Sometime u feel, compromising can give others greater advantage. But then, u can't live aloof, inside your cocoon! What to do?

    Personally, for myself, I would say the former. Yet this question deserves so much more from a response.

    The way I see things, for myself at least, I try my best to stand by what I believe, and what I have made other's aware of. Sure sometimes I might regret having taken a certain stance, and at times I have to admit I was wrong, but not "giving in" seems to garner a certain amount of respect (I would hope). Over time, I have found myselves standing alone, it is doable - often having someone that stands their ground can be the catalyst that inspires others to follow.

    Of course, it may not be easy to do this. If you can follow the crowd without compromising your viewpoint, I don't see why you shouldn't. Always realise that you may be wrong, question yourself, and if you can't find anything wrong, it gives you a stronger base on which to stand.

    Sometimes I have heard it said that one ought "follow their heart" - I wonder at this wisdom, as I know that even my heart is fickle at times. Maybe it would be better advice if we were urged to weigh up all the options, balance our thoughts with our feelings, maybe then we might make better, longer lasting decisions. Decisions, convictions that aren't changed by the pressures and strains of life.

    In all I think there are probably three ways you go - you can keep by what you believe, but hide back, fade away; you can choose to go along with the crowd, maybe be buffeted a little; or you can stand up, stand out, maybe halt a few of the others that are rushing past with the crowd. Maybe a bit like a river.

    I hope my thoughts aren't too jumbled for understanding. :)

    What to do?
