Wow, a little condesending saying that I'm 'pitching a fit." Has anyone said that to you about a moral stance that you have taken?
I'm an accountant persuing a CPA certification and I'm well aware of the consequences of a defaulted loan. I'm not really stomping my feet, I'm living a life that I want others to be able to live and a life I'm comfortable living. I will sleep like a baby at night knowing my resources don't fund criminals and I was never scared to face reprecusitons for my actions. I pay my taxes as I don;t want to go to jail, but that is pretty much the extent to which I'm willing to concede.
Do you think courage is childish behavior?
Thanks for the reccomendation!
Ofcourse it is harder to be defiant. Lets stand up for something. I won't get on my knees for every time someone with force brings it to me. I'll pay my taxes. But conceding to the enemy on all grounds isn't a choice, it's not virtuous in my opinion, and it doesn't progress meaningful change for the future. Yea it's hard, so what? It requires imagination to adapt to difficult circumstances.
