Is it good to live a life in which you are guided by your principles, never giving in on them or betraying them? Even if this meant your death? Or is it better to live, having compromised your principles and beliefs?

As much as hedonists and survivalists hate to admit, everyone has principles.

Ned Stark pls. In reality you will always need to find compromise but never betray your core values.

I was thinking more along the lines of Cato the Younger vs Cicero. Ned Stark is another good example.
