Sticking with your beliefs and values.
What you believe and what you value is what shapes you.
They are the vessel of our beings, they keep us grounded, they hold our character, personality, and soul together.
If they are strong, you are firm as a rock.
if you poke holes in them, bits of you pour out.
The more you go against your beliefs and values, the more the vessel rips apart, you lose sight of who you really are, you begin to feel lost. And the moment that vessel shatters, is the moment you get poofed into nothingness. You become a shell-less soul, a soul that can be stretched, squeezed, and bent by societies whims.
You become nothing.
A clone.
A nobody.
Your opinions are not your own, your words are not your own, your life is not your own.
A slave to the man in the telescreen.
