Traduko - Dana-Angla - Det er så skønt med principper. Så behøver man jo...

Hi jairhaas

while 'since' is not wrong, if it is followed by 'then' I think replacing it with 'because' would sound better as at the moment the reader automatically takes 'since then' together.

If you agree, could you edit and leave a message please?
If you don't agree, could you let me know?

Thanks!

"To have" ?
why not "with" ?

Because of the continuation, the speaker is obviously relating to the benefits he himself derives from having principles, not from the existence of principles in general (am I being to philosophical?)

Why don't "need" instead of "have"?

I think both possibilities are equally good in this case

I agree with Efylove and would suggest to use "need"...
and perhaps I would begin the second phrase with "So" or "This way", instead of "Because then" (only a personal opinion )

Thank you all!
I think all suggestions here are a matter of personal preference that don't change the meaning of the text so I will validate this translation as it is.
