Which of your values will you never compromise - or never compromise again?

This is an interesting question because I don’t normally think in terms of “my values” so to be able to determine which of these I wouldn’t compromise involves putting my values into concrete wording.

I think for me honesty is critical. I try hard to be honest but it is difficult, mainly because I can’t always find the right words to phrase things that are not harsh.

I think it is in part because I try hard to give the benefit of the doubt and consider different points of view, but some very specific actions I can’t let it go. I find it intensely frustrating when people cheat. Cheating when it is more around creatively solving a puzzle in a novel way, I don’t take issue with it. I enjoy that. No, I am talking about cheating where you are literally taking advantage of others. It triggers my intense sense of justice.

Okay, those are two values, I think that’s good.
