That said, you also shouldn’t be afraid to evolve and adapt your ideas over time. That
is why it is so important to keep reading and keep learning. Keep up to date with
politics and what is going on in the world, read philosophy and reassess your values.
There is no value in sticking to one set of goals or principles indefinitely and refusing
to readdress them, as ultimately this becomes a ‘lie’ as much as any other
You should not vote a certain way because you have always voted a certain way. And
you should not be afraid to reassess the way that you feel about certain aspects of
your code.
The point is that you will not break your code of conduct while it exists. You have
standards to uphold and the simple act of upholding them will make you a stronger,
braver and more impressive individual.
And note that in the ideal scenario, there should be some interplay between what
you believe, your personal code of ethics, your goals and your political views.
Hopefully, you have a vision for where you think the world should go, what you think
life should be like. Your goals are there to help you achieve that, while your code of
ethics should also ensure that you don’t miss the trees for the forest.
All this results in you becoming a person who knows what they believe and who
knows themselves. And when you know that, you will be a greater and more
powerful individual.
