I'm musing here, so only read on if you feel like getting a fresh take on life, or an approximation of life.
I saw the Last Samurai last evening. What an amazing picture, but it wasn't the battle scenes that struck me. Sure, it is amazing to see 500 men with swords defeat 1000 men with guns! What really made me watch interestedly was the social commentary. The below statement can best be thought of in the context of the last samurai.
The world, or at least the western world, can be roughly divided into 2 groups; those who would die for a cause and those who would not.
Perhaps you should ask yourself, what category do you fall in, and what exactly would you be willing to die for. And further, ask yourself if most, or all, or none of your principles are flexible, fungible, or fluid.
