To bend or not to bend?

I came across this quote and I found it so funny: "If God wanted us to bend over he'd put diamonds on the floor." - Joan Rivers Is that true?? Well, for someone as stubborn as I am I would say its true... I would like to think that God made me this way for a reason. To stand up for myself, for my beliefs, my my family and friends, for injustice, for truth... So yeah, I would "like" to think that I'm this way for a reason and you shouldn't bend over just for everything or anything. However, others can and might say that, u should bend over for others, God wants you to be humble and submit to authority,...etc...etc.... So which way goes? My opinion is strongly for the first... but I guess that the latter applies in some situations too... Its really something that needs a whole lot more thought and practice (depending on which side u stand). Not bending over works for me in some situations... but I'm not too stubborn to know that sometimes you just have to grit your teeth and say "pleaseeeeee" even to the most irritating and stupid people (will blog more on this). AND shaun will definitely attest to the fact that he gets his way alot by using his "PR" skills while i just bulldoze my way through... hehehe
