People often speak of principles. It seems that there are a lot of them, and they may be quite different for different kinds of people. Such principles might also change according to times, environments and circumstances. By the way, what is the exact definition of "principle"? According to the dictionary, it is "a fundamental truth or proposition that serves as the foundation for a system of belief or behavior or for a chain of reasoning". History has shown that beliefs and reasoning have undergone great changes throughout the centuries (nowadays a much shorter time seems to be required!). Therefore you should not be surprised if you see that something that was "the truth" yesterday is completely ignored, overlooked and even rejected today. Are there any principles that should be unchangeable? There certainly are. One could be the belief in the need for you to be the best you can be, here and now. What else?
