giving up

Little things like arguments with your friends, and competitions such as sports, just aren't that important. Sometimes it's better just to give up, rather than to lose something more important. Like if you are having an argument with your friend, sometimes it's better to let it go, and let them win the argument so that you don't lose a friend.

However, there are things that you should never back down on. Like beliefs about religion, or morals, or whatever else. Even if people think that you are weird, or crazy for having certain beliefs, you should never back down on what you think is right. Like the fact that I'm a Christian, and I refuse to be ashamed of it, or my friend who is a vegan because she doesn't like what people do to animals. Even though sometimes people will give her funny looks when she tells them, I know that she won't change her mind about it because it is something she feels very strongly about, and that will not change.
