guiding principle

People will come into our lives every now and then.
Some will try to torment us and our virtue.
We have to stick to our guiding principles instead of falling for their criticism.

Some will try to make hostage with their words, while others with their acts.
They will do emotional blackmail, drench us, and play the victim card.

We have to again think about our guiding principle and lead life.
Feeling sad, pitiful, or empathetic will do no good either. It will drag the ending. At the same time, it will go against our guiding principle.
