my theory of ethics that establishes a code of right and wrong actions is under constant attack by my unguarded will…..and i am forever reminding myself that flexibility is admirable in certain situations but not in core beliefs……if one doesn’t have basic tenants that form the foundation of their behavior, they are like a reed washed down the river bank, having lost it mooring……….i would like to say i am steadfast, immovable but the reality is the earth shakes and the mountain moves and the rocks come tumbling down………….i suppose i’m not that much different than many…………i shake from time to time, but regain my footing and balance unwilling to pay the high price of going against my core beliefs…….which is in fact the highest form of disrespect one can perpetrate against themselves.

turning a passing thought into an obsession is rarely a benefit to anyone
