Besides, english took on a life of its own when I found out that two centuries ago, 'awful' meant exactly what it sounds like it should mean... "full of awe". Amazing or awesome. If meanings like that can flip 180, who am I to complain about the dynamics of language.

That you may retain your self-respect, it is better to displease the people by doing what you know is right, than to temporarily please them by doing what you know is wrong.
