Discussing Compromise

Hi Karen! I see nothing wrong in ‘compromise’. Our life itself is a compromise and we keep doing compromise on every step and every phase of our life. When we are students, we keep compromising with the marks and position obtained. When we get married, we compromise on many points to agree to a certain person. When we get a job, we may not get the choice of job, however, we compromise with the situation. When we become parents, we keep compromising with the whims and fancies of our children and this cycle goes on and on. I think if one gets peace by compromising and steps to ‘adjust’ can reduce ‘tension’, there is no harm in it. Opinions will differ on this issue from person to person, I believe, based on one’s experience.

Hello my friend i guess it al depends on the situation, I will compromise if its in the best interest of all concerned, if it benefits the other more than me then no, some people like to manipulate certain situations just to make things work out in their favor I don't like this,lets just do what needs to be done no compromising involved this way we can all be happy. Thank you my friend.

I have never been much a comprimiser. I think there is one way to do things & that is the right way. If u do it right the first time there is no need to have to conprimise on anything.

Every situation is different and unique to the individuals involved. The more people involved the more variables and the more need for compromise. The idea of any negotiation is to give up something in order to get something you want. You can't always win or have things 100% your way. The trick is in compromising in such a way that when you concede or meet someone half way you are really getting what you truly want. However sometimes the greater good/bigger picture is more important.

A compromise is a good solution if you pause to think of the result. I you are happy and can carry the result life long then it is a real good thing. Actually compromise is a situation where one make adjustments in order to accommodate other situations. Unthinking "compromise" is in fact being "Pressurized".

Compromise is good if it's not related to integrity, morals or character. When someone is asked to make a compromise, they shouldn't be left with regret, but a sense of accomplishment.

Hi Karen, I have no problem at all in compromising about the unimportant things in life such as where to meet with friends for coffee, or a little compromise on my sons bedtime to keep him happy. I would not compromise on my prinicipals though to fit in with someone elses ever.

Hi peacefulwmn9 i understand totally what you are saying here, yeah i guess sometimes we really tend to compromise on issues just for the sake of the majority of us to accept it, well i know that way some points or rather many important things are missed out on... well even i haven't tried this but i think we should tell what we need to, in a manner that others who don't agree with it would not find it offending.. since it is not something even i have done .. i think we should try to be good at it and take care that others have their own beliefs and we need to respect them as well . . . but if we find something wrong with it we should let them know in a polite way.... have a nice day peacefulwmn9!

Hi,Yes majority of times "compromising is the best solution" in many cases.It avoid unnecessary complications among two and some times you won't compromise,it may leads to very serious situation.At the same time there are few issues where you can't compromise,one should not compromise.The issues like Money relation,friendship,Ethical values..so all the best and have a nice time.
