Principles ... Values ... & Life ...

What are principles?
What are values?
What is the purpose of believing in them and stubbornly clinging on to them, making them a part of who you are when it causes destruction?
Why do we need such lines of separation?
Is there a need for them?
Will believing in such beliefs bring about happiness and harmony?
Should we not be like a blade of grass, bending when necessary or should we stand firm like the bamboo tree-sway it will not despite a strong gust of wind that comes charging by?
What's right and what's wrong and who's to judge?
Is it right to stand by ones principles and values if it meant others' tears and sorrow?
Would this not be known more as selfishness than any other positive beliefs in one's called principles and values?
What good would it be when others feel uncomfortable with your actions?
Will you not then be labelled a tyrant and want only your ways and not any other ways?

Life's journey is about creating joy in the world and not endlessly causing sorrow and pain.
Life's journey is not about one making a decision and having the others to stay and suffer as a result of that decision.
Life's journey becomes meaningful only when one decides to walk a mile in the other person's shoes and understand their world and viewpoint.
Life's journey is surely not imposing one's beliefs on others and expecting them to follow suit.
Life's journey is actually about making the wrong choices but to be able to later make again the correct choice after acknowledging that a wrong decision was indeed made.

Again,who then determine who's right and who's wrong....
