"Is it easier to fight with dignity than to surrender in shame?"

We all come to a situation in life where we have to fight for something, whether it be a stuffed animal, the correct answer to a math problem, or a beloved friend. Sometimes, we are so determined that we can never accept the fact that we may be wrong, and that sometimes, giving up is all you can do. Everyone has always told us to stand up for what we believe in, but on the other hand, we're told that fighting is "bad." Nonetheless, the world continues to quarrel with words, guns, and fists. Many people probably find it hard to gather the courage to fight for themselves. Those are the kind of people who find it easy to drop to their knees and beg for mercy. But, honestly, in my opinion, I think that if you absolutely must defend what is right, and you must fight for it, then it is better to fight with dignity than to surrender in shame.
It just might not be as easy.
