    Here's your choice:



    Stand on principle, or take the best deal you can get.



    Which would you choose, and why?

    Why? Because I'm only going to live life once and I don't feel like spending it pissed off. I'll let guys like you fight the good fight, I'm too busy enjoying life. I feel sorry for guys like Mike and i guess you, you going to spend the only life you got fighting a losing battle, have fun.

    Hm... well, that's an interesting perspective. I consider that I'm quite the winner in this life. Got a beautiful wife and two darling children, what more is there? I've won, there's nothing more I need to prove, to myself or anyone else.



    As far as fighting battles, sometimes you gotta go with what your heart tells you. If you lose that, my take is, you can't possibly be a happy person.
