How often.... email this discussion to a friend?

do you compromise your' morals and values to keep the peace?
If someone lies to you do you blow it off or confront it?
If someone in your family or circle of friends is heading down the wrong road, do you stand up or do you let it slide for the sake of not offending?
How often do you compromise?

I don't personally compromise, but there are times when my guard is down and compromised. Then when I come to my senses, I hate what I did.

Most of the time, I stand up and confront someone who did wrong. I don't let it pass by without telling them it's wrong, even if it offends their ego!

As the Bible says, "Open rebuke is better than secret love."

Yes I have compromised my morals and values to keep the peace. I ignore rather than confront someone I know to be lying. In the case of friend or family heading on a downward path I have in the past said things, tried to help, passed info along to others I felt might deal better with it but my words and actions have been ignored.
I'm a coward. I'm afraid of confrontation and I go to jelly if someone is angry at me.
I think it comes from being beaten and criticised constantly as a child from an early age. It's something I despise myself for.

Humm...I'd say somewhat I guess?
I am a peacemaker/ pacifist type person who HATES confrontation.
And I tend to let a lot of little things slide.
Though if it's something I feel very strongly about I will not back down. I may not seek a fight but I maintain my position - and if brought up I will defend it so to speak. I guess it really just depends too on what it is.

The more I answer this though...the more I think I don't compromise my morals and values...at least not my extremely important ones. Am I making any sense? LOL
