"virtue is also if no-one is tempting you"

it is nice to have principles - as long as nothing challenges you to stick to them. i guess in many cases one then realises having missed out on half of the context of the situation (and every so-often also having judged people without having any idea about what they were going through).

so my question is: should one revise one's principles when realising that they were too narrowminded (ever heard of complicated principles??) or should one still stick to them (because it's a principle to stick to one's principles)?

you can downgrade the question into many levels down, the last of them being 'if there exists the truth'. If you stop time + space, fix the number of dimensions you consider, it does. (Just remember in this boolean function you are a variable too). So it is ok to have principles. Every smallest time period later later, one should reconsider it. But it would be a folly to claim your principles are good (true) for other ppl, as they are variables. So man and his principles is quite a lonesome tuple.
