Or are you just responsible for your own principles?

Do you let faults in his behavior justify inconsistencies in yours? If he went around groping women a dozen times, does that make it okay if you've only done it a few times?

At what point is principle something we uphold even when it doesn't suit us or even makes us look bad, or do our principles always perfectly align with what we currently want ... because what we want is what our principles are molded to?
