Which is better and do they both stand on both sides of the good/bad fence?
Compromise and Sacrifice: The Good
- Meeting someone half way...
- Giving a little (or a lot)...
- Understanding that your way is not the only way...
- Letting go of something so that someone else can have,get or gain something...
- Willingly giving in, in the effort to make someone else happy...
Compromise and Sacrifice: The Bad
- Meeting someone half way,,, even though you know the best thing to do is stand your ground...
- Giving alot,,, therefore compromising on your own core beliefs, sacrificing your own ideals...
- Understanding that the way you want to handle something is not the only way, but handling it that way anyway,,, sacrificing someone else's happiness or piece of mind in the process (and ultimately your own)...
- Letting go,,, letting go of things you believe in, in an effort to justify your own actions (maybe not letting go altogether, but reclassifying temporarily)...
- Willingly giving in... to your own weakness, in a misguided effort to find your own happiness.
When did it become so difficult to do the right thing? Why does it seem so easy to go down the road well traveled, instead of the road less traveled? You'd think the less traveled road would look better; no pot holes, no road blocks, no pedestrians in the way... At what point do we (meaning 'I' but I'm determined I'm not the only one with this affliction) decide our happiness trumps all others, as in I'm sorry if my actions will hurt you, but I'll walk away with a slice of happiness so it's something I've decided I can live with...
And will I be able to live with it...?
