Depends on how much room there is on top... » gardenergirl

OK, serious answer?

I'm with Glydin -- there are some things that are inviolable. You know what they are for you. Is it, "don't kick puppies?" "Never vote Republican?" "Be kind to everyone, because you can?" "Never get involved in a land war in Asia?" They're different for everyone, but there are always some things that just aren't negotiable.

Otherwise, it probably depends on the situation, you know? If sticking to your principles gives you no room to maneuver, then it probably won't be all that satisfying. If it's not on your list of Inviolates, then it might be worth considering where and how much you're willing to compromise.

But whatever you do, don't get involved with a Sicilian in a battle of wits when death is on the line...

xoxo
