“It’s not a principle if it doesn’t cost you anything”

Also just curious about your deeply held principles in general.

No political grandstanding please.

    Lol, well isn’t this pertinent?

    1. “People make mistakes. You must practice forgiveness in acknowledgement of this” + “An oath you make should be honoured, full stop” - staying with my exwife after I learned (in a really messy, unfortunate for all involved way) she was cheating.

    2. A second instance of “an oath you make should be honoured, full stop” - persuing divorce from my ex-wife on the basis of the following statement: “If I hear so much as a whisper that cheating continues or restarts, we are irrevocably done, no matter what you say or how badly you feel”.

    3. “Kindness, even to those who wrong you, is non-negotiable, so long as in acting with kindness you do not compromise yourself or your well-being” - my current state of affairs, though I’d be lying if this one hasn’t been reeeal challenging. Doing what I can to stick to the principle though, because I think it’s very important.
