Which of your personal beliefs do you feel so strongly about that you will never compromise?

I believe its wrong to discriminate based on race or sexuality.

Talia, 25
Redding, CT USA

I feel so strongly AGAINST suicide that I will never compromise and take my own life. I know it sounds weird, but I've had some very very down times in my life, times I don't really want to discuss, times that may have driven other people to take their own lives... however, I am so strongly against the idea, the action of suicide, I could never do it. I've had a couple of people close to me do it and I've seen how it affects everyone around them. It's such a horrible thing to do and I have no sympathy for that person. I feel bad for their families and friends and even for
myself, but not for that person.

My faith in Christ

Melodi, 19
Gahanna, OH USA

I believe in America. I will never let go of the America being the land of free productive people. I see our country going to hell. We can pull together to make a great country. I feel an emptiness in our society.

I will die before I renounce my faith in God.

Laura, 37
Lowell, MA USA

I feel STRONGLY that people are basically good but because of external things they often do bad things. They are not bad people though.

Reba, 57
Gaithersburg, MD USA

I don't know if this would count as a belief, but I believe in my culture. Many find Islam a religion that's hard to follow, and they see Turkey as an undeveloped country. But my nationality is something I would never give up.

Merve

That my husband is the one for me. As in, The One. There's other stuff I believe strongly, too, but
that's probably the only thing I'm not even willing to question for a second or two.

Karen, 23
Ames, IA USA

I will never compromise my own integrity.

Jane, 63
West Linn, OR USA

Commitment to God and my family.

Tam

I would never cheat on my husband. I waited until I was 40 to get married because I really didn't believe in it. Then I grew up and got it. It's about the people, not the institution.

Cindy, 41
VA USA

My faith in Christ.

Ryan, 29
Morton, IL USA

That I control my fate.

Jill, 61
Saylorsburg, PA USA

Fidelity to my husband, stealing, murder, and I would never renounce my faith in God.

Judy, 62
Easton, KS USA

That life is an amazing gift in whatever form it takes. Corny, but true.
