Don't bully yourself! You do what you feel is right for you! Thats all anyone can do!
If they don't like you like that then youve lost your friends support but you get to win a big mac and fries!?!
Find your own moral code. They live by another. That's okay.
Just as it's okay you find your own way. Set your own standards. That's what growing up really is.
Not following just to follow. But asking questions like you are now. Is this really for me?
Good question. You will find the answer in your heart. And then you can tell them you want to eat steak and they should accept that.
If they cannot then they are small minded people. You don't want to hang out with small minded people. From my own personal experience of being a follower I found that you don't lift them up.
They are a lot more likely to bring you down. One bad blueberry spoils the whole bunch.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
