Stand Firm & Hold the Line! Bend for Lies · Sell Your Soul
⁘ “Principles are axioms that hold true at all times. Preferences can bend — they are not unconditional. But what is rooted in truth – that should never bend. Hold the line. If you bend yourself before illusions, embrace lies and self-deception, you compromise the integrity of your entire cognitive mesh. When you lose that, you lose everything. In layman's terms, you are selling your soul.”
When push comes to shove,
when it's time to hold the line,
if you flicker, if you bend.
Those were not principles.
Then must one always hold those principles,
is there not a time for strategic compromise?
In here, let's recognize a critical difference.
Principles are axioms that hold true at all times,
and preferences on the other hand –
they do not, they can bend.
What is not rooted in the truth of what is, in actuality,
that's simply a preference – adapt.
But what is rooted in truth –
that should never bend.
Hold the line.
If you bend yourself before illusions,
embrace lies and self-deception,
you compromise the integrity of your entire cognitive mesh.
You see, the path to your cognitive convergence and reconciliation
is paved by principles rooted in truth.
When you lose that, you lose everything.
What you gain in the world of illusions,
you lose in the reality of your conscious existence.
In layman's terms, you are selling your soul.
