Beardedbruce, I guess I did mean with no choice on your part. But it would be balanced by the pain you might cause other people if you didn't live your truth, and whatever good things you created in others by honoring your truth. So in that case, you might be weighing the hurt that the fundamentalist feels if you don't do what they want you to do against your own pain and maybe the pain of others if you don't honor your truth, as well as whatever relief the fundamentalist might feel, against whatever joy, beauty, or other good things you might create by honoring your truth.
