Compromising; dead weight loss?

Compromise; to make a dishonorable or shameful concession.

Does that mean every single time that you give in during an arguement or when there are varying views, you are actually losing out; by making a shameful concession?

Compromise, simply put, can be said to give in during a certain point where the heat is strong. Of course, the point-in-case here is to have a reasonable concession, it wouldn't change much if it's simply taking all the "bullets" from the other party.

Compromising comes with sacrificing one's stand, and definitely more than that.

During the course of thinking how much you have lost by compromising, have we forgotten the magic that it brings?

Compromising is the key factor of sustaining a relationship; of all sorts. Be it between friends, kins, the beloved one. Sometimes when people aren't feeling too good, or when they are simply bent on some things, or when.... ack. you know what i'm referring to.

Look at the bigger picture, is it really necessary for you to be so bent on the issue? It sucks to always be the one giving in, or rather, the suckiness comes from losing out. But have you simply chucked aside the beauty of being understanding?

Ego is not everything; but most of the time, the relationship is.

When you've realised that compromising is NOT about what you have lost, but what you have GAINED; you have already gained back what you have lost.
