Explanation:
There will be times when you're tempted to stay silent just to keep the peace. But if you constantly betray your values to make others comfortable, you'll lose respect for yourself. Your values are the moral compass that guide your actions and choices.
Standing up for them shows that you have backbone-that you are someone who lives with principle, not just popularity. That quiet strength earns your own admiration, and that is the heart of self-respect.
