well, people differ in many ways, and we can find two persons totally different form and essence, those who float on the surface and those who dive into the deep sea
Thomas Jefferson once said:"in matters of style, swim with the current; in matters of principle, stand like a rock"
do you agree?
do you think in rome one should do what the romans do as it is alluded in the first idea?

your opinions are most welcome
