Morals, Ideals are words which are thrown around commonly now. After watching the movie, I thought about do I stand for, what is it so deeply that I believe that I can take a bullet for? I cannot find an answer for this, honesty, integrity and respect are things I hope to stand for but certainly, there have been times where my not so good judgment has fallen through the cracks. But is having very strong ideals equivalent to being stubborn? I feel there needs to be a balance, certainly one should stand by things tone believes in but one also has to recognize that their duty is above that and regardless of their belief they have to do what they have to do. And honestly, that’s what the movie showed, one can flex their beliefs, without giving them up, to accomplish their duty.
Your thoughts on resolutely held beliefs really resonated with me. I think most people struggle with this somewhat, personally I find it very hard to understand how someone could hold to a belief how strongly. Regardless, it really is admirable.
