There is no middle ground-no compromising 2. Don't just be yourself. That's not good enough. Anyway, people might not like you just the way you are. Be what others tell you or want you to be.
Life is war.
The good guys and the bad guys. Why tell the truth-you might get in trouble if you made a mistake. Why not just lie and take the chance you won't get caught. If you're not happy, it's the other person's fault. They are supposed to make you happy.
