I was going to blog out my co-workers, in general of course, but thought that might not be a good idea.
So my word for the day is compromise.
Webster Dictionary defines this word as "a way of reaching agreement in which each person or group gives up something that was wanted in order to end an argument or dispute".
I think this is a very important word, it's important when it comes to work, marriage, kids and relationships in general. Of course this can be taken too far (ha ha, I just typed "fart", but of course corrected it). Unless you are talking about life or death, there can be and I think has to be compromise in almost every situation.
Some people might see it defined this way...... "a change that makes something worse and that is not done for a good reason".
People have a tendency to compromise their beliefs and moral values for something or someone and it's all one sided. This won't ever turn out good if this is the way you are living.
In general, folks just need to take others into consideration and be mindful that not everything will always go their way and they will have to compromise.
I think I'm pretty much rambling, but hopefully you understand that I'm saying.
Have a blessed day!
It is fine as long as it is not one sided compromise. Nice post :)

DeleteIf it's one-sided, it's not a compromise.

ReplyDeleteSo very true! While compromise is important, compromising your personal values is never the right thing to do. Great post!
