principal, stupidity, bitterness and trees

[forgotten_aria]

I'm not doing something because I disagree with some of it's underlying philosphies. Nothing too horrible, but enough little things that I really annoyes me. No one is noticing me not do it, so it's not changing anything, not making anyone see anything different. In not doing it, I've separated myself from having fun with a lot of people I like. This is causing me to be bitter. I can't see anyway of changing the situation, other than comprimising my princaple stand.

Am I being stupid to be so subborn? Is there anyway I could feel less bitter about it?
