I agree about the 'who ever really knows their own self?'. My sister and I went to dinner tonight and she told me that an elderly gentleman (not sure his age but she said some OLD man :-) was talking with her and her boss yesterday..telling them jokes and whatnot. At any rate, he told her that when she meets a man ask him when going out with him on a first date this question..."what 5 things do you believe in?" The answers from the question will lead you to know if his beliefs are the same as yours and if not, whether you are willing to "go along with those beliefs".
At any rate, with that said, I stopped and tried to answer them. One thing I have to say here, I am not an opponent of the word "try", you either do or don't. I "tried" unsucessfully (so I guess I didn't) thinking of 5 beliefs (things that I am not willing to compromise). I came up with 2... LOL This being said, I guess I thought I knew myself enough to be true to myself. I still do but I guess I am going to have to sit and really dig deep for that answer!
