there’s nothing difficult about it- you either stand on your principles, and let the chips fall where they may, or you violate your principles, and betray the trust of those who elected you
Nothing complicated about that
Was it ‘difficult’ for shadrach meshach and Abednego to make the decision to stand on principles and obey God? Nope! For Daniel? Nope!
Well, at least you didn’t use Daniel’s Babylonian name (Belteshazzar). I try to use the Hebrew names of those three, which are Hananiah, Mishael and Azariah respectively; but I do have to say that your example of Babylon and standing against idol worship even to possible death is quite apt and excellent.
