Way to many times. I'm much better at remaining true to myself now and interacting with others. If they don't get me...oh well. I'm still ok. They're ok to.

over the decades I let go of that.....join the herd mentality

I walk alone....just fine

But doesn't the wisdom and discretion teach us to restrain our inner-selves? What say you?

That is why I have to tell you right now. Baha'u'llah is the promised one of all Religions.

To tell you any less is a compromise. I do not need to fit in. Just tell it as it is.

It does get you the boot from some forums though?

Hope you are well and happy, Regards Tony

well ok......there are life lessons to be had when you are part of the herd

all you do is say something the others don't 'chooch' with.....
and you're out!

Yes that is very important indeed.

Exactly. People are fragile ... emotional. Naked reason can't always win. It's like the water makes a pebble smooth. A sledgehammer simply crushes it to powder.

I realize all the things I compromized where things that werent mine to begin with. They are what I believe but they arent apart of me as much as I would like. They are facts but we dont all resognate with every fact we Know is true.

Those things I cannot compromise are whats a part of me, well, me. For example, I cant seperate me from art. Ive been an artist ever since I wrote my first book in elementary school, sculpted from aluminum foil, drew, etc. Its my religion.

How do you compromise something you cant disattach from yourself? Unless maybe you are in denial of who you really are or havent looked into your core values just took then at face value indoctrinated and/or not. Its one thing to say "I will not compromise" as if the statement was a choice someone is forcing to deprive from you. Its another to say "I cannot conpromise" like trying to take off a body limb.

The former makes one defensive. The latter just looks at the person as if they are silly. Take off my limb?

Next.

hmmm.....take off a limb.......

oh oh

was it not the Carpenter who said.....
if your hand offends you.....cut it off
if your eye offends you.....pluck it out
better to enter heaven maimed than to burn in Gehenna whole

not to worry....
I understand the metaphor
it is not about self mutilation
It means.....
if the manner you see things doesn't work.....change the way you see things
if what you do is less than you are.....do something else

I too have been an artist
nowadays I sculpt tool steel
it is an art form

it's not the eye catching effort I could be doing
but it's a pay check

oh oh ......again
maybe I HAVE compromised!!!!!!!!
