A Principle to keep

When living life things can get quite hectic or confusing, however if you have a strong set of principles they can help you react in different situations. While these aren't a cover all handbook to life, they can assist in the making of decisions whether they are big or small. Some people might not eat certain things and others might have certain priorities over others. I personally hold a principle that deals with people, namely that I will never leave anyone who is crying. This isn't a principle I have to use everyday although it's not an extreme one either. Unless someone asks me to I won't leave them crying. The reason is that while some people don't want people to see them crying because they perceive it as a sign of weakness, sometimes all they need is to remember that there are people who don't want to see them cry. No matter what the reason is that they're crying as long as they don't feel alone then they haven't lost everything. Having somebody next to them can help them focus on what they are going to do next instead of focusing on what they're sad about. You don't even have to be physically next to the person, sometimes just a phone call or texting will work. I chose this as an important principle over other ones because I believe that one the of the most important things in life are the relationships you build with other people. So even if you don't always want to be comforting someone or helping them out, in the end it's worth it. Like I said before this isn't always a principle that I have to use but when I do it's very important that I follow through. So the next time that someone sends you a text at 12 at night it's probably better to respond if they sound sad rather than just putting your phone away.
