Morals.

Apr 17, 2006 00:24

So I'm just wondering. Is it a BAD thing to have strong morals? I grew up with parents who instilled extremely strong morals in me, and like most things, I accepted them without question. Now that I've dipped my toes into a small portion of the "real world," I have let a lot of things slide, and I have changed my mind about many things. However, a lot of those core values and morals that I was taught growing up have stuck with me, and I firmly believe that most of them exist for good reasons. But...it seems like in today's society, people who have morals are seen as stuffy, prudish, and boring. But I like to think that you can have morals and still be a fun person. I like to party just as much as any other person, and I love having fun, but there are some things I believe very strongly in, and I don't like the fact that I am automatically judged based on those beliefs. But I'm not going to change myself for anyone. And I don't want people telling me "well that's good that you believe that, good for you." No, don't patronize me. That's probably one of the easiest ways to piss me off. Just accept me for who I am, and don't judge me. There is a lot more here than meets the eye. And if fitting in means having to compromise my beliefs...no thanks, I don't want it.
