Prince: Sub Principle and Choices

Sub-principle is more appropriate to uphold hen living in the current society, no one is to blame for hypocrite, but to ensure a better living in life, sometimes, sub principle becomes important in life. Human being can still gain respect by setting a different set of principles, certainly, it is obvious that different human being arrives at a different set of principles, and further, it depends on how oneself to uphold their stands, sometimes it may arrive at such a point that other would rather consider it as stubborn.

One must believe that life is always about making choices, and making choices is about sacrificing what you think is not important, at which has a direct or indirect effect to your future. Sometimes, it would be better to use cost and benefits to analysis the choices in hand. Put it in layman term, it is like choosing to be a millionaires or a monk? But the question is always, how to be a millionaire but also a monk at the same time, or a monk but also millionaires. This is to assume that a millionaire is a rich person with no principle at all, while a monk is a poor fellow with high respect & principle.

Arriving at the conclusion, human being always tries to balance their life, to achieve the greatest balance of all. That is when sub principle comes in, nothing as hypocrite or non-hypocrite, but this has become a necessity. Sub principle helps to confine them from making mistake, and most importantly, to foster self-realization. Being kind is also part of principle as per say, but how kind can you be and how far can you go in life? Being refraining yourself from smoking and drinking totally is not impossible, but it depends on the environment and your direction. It would seem difficulty for those in entertainment line, perhaps, or Public Relations Line. But it is certainly possible for those who prefer a stable and quiet life for the rest of their life.

Meanwhile, sub principles also depend on the wisdom of one particular person, as to which part of the moral value they would emphasize the most. Some human being hates cheating; some may be careless about it, and some human being receptive to drinking and smoking but hates prostitution. For those who have a special preference, certainly, first, due to their personal experience and background which affected their choices? Secondly, it’s the environment that confines them to such an act, as to adapt to the environment.

Human being is given the wisdom of solving problem; sometimes being over use / misuse in the process that you may consider it as a hypocritical move. The question is always, are you the hypocritical types or you are not? A scenario was always made to many learners, when a 10 millions contract was put in front of you, and the only request from your client is to drink in the pub, while your principle is not to drink. Will you do the necessary action? Even one sip will allow you to earn a millions. Certainly, do not forget the fact that there’s no trick and treat in the principle, because that’s the ultimate goal of becoming a man with principles, without sub principles to bound you.

Certainly, this has become a difficult options for learners, perhaps, only 1 out of 100 would rather stick to their own principle of not even stepping into the worlds of liquor, some would like to play smart, while drinking only water, but entertaining their client still. Some may only wish to drink a glass of two. Many answer for above question, but obviously, the first one received the greatest respect however he has chosen a life of norm, without being affected by material value.

No one should be considered as hypocrite in the process; they are merely making their choices but still sticking to their principles. If a person who uphold their principle, there shall be no room for that person to think of anything against the principles, for example, if a person doesn’t like drinking, then that person should not even think of stepping into the world of liquor, merely, dancing or hanging out can be an excuses after all. Prince will never make such a principle in life, because every principle will have an effect to others, and when a principle is made, principles will uphold to it till the day when doom arrived. Thus, principle is not simply to be made to follow. When a principle is made, then the rule must follow which is, see no evil, feel no evil, and think no evil, to be a person of ultimate principle holder.
