Compromise by gamerman17 at 2/17/2013 3:41:50 PM Good afternoon, Ladies and Gentleman. Been a bit of while since i last posted one of these. Viewing thing in life, I've seen many people try to compromise themselves within life and try to conform to the society around them and in the process, they change themselves. This can be considered either good or bad, depending on the degree of change that took place or is currently taking place. Change to better yourself in life can be good, while comprimsing one's beliefs to try to fit in to an amoral society is another thing. For me personally, I try to abide by the times and try to get through it not feeling that I should lose myself within the society that I am while personally trying to better myself in the process. What are your thoughts of compromise?......gamer This blog has been brought to you by Charmander

charli_evol13	2/17/2013 3:52:29 PM @ Gamersometimes I think what happen is that people believe they are compromise for someone or something, then later they realize that they were actually giving into, control....in life we do at some point , or will have to compromise somethings, but definitely should never do it at the expense of who we are as individuals, because they we will end up being miserable..and we want to remain>>>> Good blog gamer, nice to see you
gamerman17	2/17/2013 4:02:40 PM @ charli , good to see you as well, been somewhat busy with college and work, so I haven't had the time to post blogs like I used to. As for your comment, pretty much agreed. Compromise, depending on the context of it, can be a good or bad, but seeing how compromise has personally affected people I was learning more towards the negative effects of it, as you alluded to. Could be my subjective outlook on it, making me somewhat closeminded to other possibilities, but that's the way I see it......gamer
k_4real	2/17/2013 4:06:49 PM gamer ...As far as relationships are concerned, there will be some level of compromise, but it should not be one-sided. Both parties should be willing to compromise. But if compromising means that u lose sight of who u are as a person, then u have not added anything positive or meaningful to the relationship & both parties will end up miserable. Jmo
gamerman17	2/17/2013 4:18:03 PM @ real , agreed. Speaking from personal experience with friends who are in a compromise battle, they claim they're losing themselves in an pursuit of love which is somewhat strange considering a relationship is supposed to bring two people together. Of course this is just one instance, but it can sit back and make you think. Aside from personally pursuing my dreams, another reason I'm somewhat skeptical of an relationship is the amount of compromise a person is willing to do while NOT being one sided. That balance is difficult to discern for an untrained psyche.......gamer

jandkray6	2/17/2013 5:08:58 PM gamer & all When I was married the first time around, it was ME who had to compromise & I was miserable Compromising isn't so bad between two people who care about each other, but giving in all of the time is just wrong Good blog, gamer & it's good to see you again, my friend!
gamerman17	2/17/2013 5:22:33 PM @ moon, that's good to hear. Glad I'm posting blogs again too. @ jand , my current friend can relate to your situation. The level of compromise can be difficult in situations such as this, especially is the said person has to do in order to make a relationship work. Not being mutual makes it even worse. Thanks, and I'm glad to see all of you again.....gamer
k_4real	2/17/2013 5:33:36 PM When I was married, I found myself doing a lot of compromising, and in return, I lost the joyful side of me. I became someone I didn't even recognize. Smdh! U live & learn.
tatinou7bb	2/17/2013 7:13:34 PM Gamer, In a relationship..It should be "We" share and "We" compromise. If one comprises and the other one doesn't.."RUN".
soccerican21	2/17/2013 8:48:54 PM Charmander!! There's no compromising when it comes to charmander! Compromise is okay as long as it does not compromise your personal values, morals, or beliefs. It should also not be 1 person always compromise because that's not a compromise - that's a "getting what I want."
nmoore2014	2/17/2013 10:19:29 PM ^^ THIS But don't lose yourself. Take the time to celebrate all that is you...
gamerman17	2/17/2013 11:54:25 PM @ tat , Duly noted. I'll remember to keep that in mind. Good to see you. @ Soccer , You're right, there IS no compromising when Charmander's involved. Can kick any starter's pokemon a** with him and he's the absolute best. Regarding your comment, that's one of the things some people are having a very difficult time discerning with, when compromising affects their personal beliefs to the point where they lose themselves in the process. @ moore , exactly my point precisely, but that easier said than done.....gamer
