Here's an image:
Principles are the Oort cloud for personal rules and processes. They are your Meta-rules.
People often as not, DISCOVER their principles, rather than choose them.
Because Principles have so often been declared to HAVE authority, in and of themselves, it's very common for individuals to THINK or to DECLARE that one of the better known ones is behind their decision making, but when their actions are observed over a period of time, discrepancies are visible.
It is the use of the concept of principles as a form of control, which makes it tremendously important for each individual to recognize what, if any, principles they actually do follow or submit to or believe in. If you aren't genuinely certain of what your own principles are, as well as why you adhere to them, you will either be easily subject to manipulation, or you will repeatedly be found to be attempting to manipulate others dishonestly yourself.
