All my principles have gone down the drain!!

"All my principles have gone down the drain ".......Thats what a friend said ...

when we were 13 we had certain priciples and values , when we were 18 and we had a new set of principles ..21 after college ,some more compromises and  some new principles... now at 26 ... i think I have the final set ;) , but who knows .. it might change some more in the life ahead ..  but by now we have realised that life is full of compromises .. and there are things we say " we are never going to compromise on " .... but few years down , we find ourselves giving in and compromising ... 

We believed in fairy tales and we believed in Santa clause ... some of us still do ;) ... but most of us dont believe in it any more .. life has taught us not to ... similarly ... life has also taught us what principles to stick to and what to compromise on ..... it varies from person to person , and the situation faced by one ...

we change..........remember the life changing experiences ... 

hmmm , so instead of feeling guilty for compromising on principles that we had 10 yrs back , we shud look ahead and take life as it comes . 10 yrs back we couldnt really have imagined or understood where we are standing today .... so i dont see why our principlesl should'nt change along with our changing lives........

Like someone once said " Never say Never " !!
