Sandy, you misread my post - please re-read it - I said I would not compromise myself as a whole for an education to further MYSELF in life - I said did she really exercise other alternatives or is she just giving into compromise? She said she was forced into it. Understand that I said at the very beginning I did not judge her - I said - To me compromising yourself is diminishing yourself - isn't it to you or to her? Why is she compromosing herself? Remember, she said she was - if she doesn't want to reply or examine why - then she doesn't have to - I did not judge her - I was wondering why? In other words - Why do it if in the end it will only hurt you - You think you are doing it for yourself but in the long run you are not - isn't that true about self-compromise? What I was saying "To your own self be true - then you can be truer to the rest of life." Is an education worth losing your spirit of truth over? You can win the world but what value would it be if you lose your soul? Sandy are you saying that you can have your cake and eat it to? You can lose your or compromise your principles and still have your principles? Which one is it? Do you keep them or lose them? It is strange sometimes in life how we can't have both - but that is for a reason - so that we know we have to make tough choices and how we choose affects us and the rest of life. Peace! Angela
