"Standing on principle can easily be mistaken for a unilateral attack to maintain the imbalance. Principles must include not only the end point, but all points along the path.

Then you must be a stand up guy.

No person shall be required to violate an issue of personal conscience in the performance of public or private service to another.

Imposing the will of the group on one's freedom to live according to one's conscience has no place. Freedom of conscience maintains the delicate balance between responsibility for the care of one's fellows and the freedom from oppression by one's fellows that we should all seek individually and on behalf of one another.

Any violation of this principle is a violation of Peace, Justice and the Liberty to live as a noble human being. Any such violation must be opposed, beginning at your heart and continuing by word and deed as necessary, lest you forgo your membership as noble human being, and deservedly become one of the forlorn and oppressed.

Stand up.

Freedom occurs when noble human beings are at liberty to pursue a noble life. Noble human beings are obligated to stand against any form of social injustice which would deny a noble life. Social injustice occurs when there is a violation perpetrated against a noble human being which is caused by the coercive activity of a third party. Any form of standing against social injustice is an act of fighting for freedom, starting with firming your heart against the injustice and following the continuum to and including combat, when necessary. Though the stand may be justified, the activity of the person making the stand must be weighed by the same standard.
