compromise

compromise is a funny word and can encompass many interpretations....it can mean meeting in the middle, but it must never be compromising ones integrity or dignity...to put oneself in a position of harm is not compromise at all, rather it is selling oneself short......one must never compromise ones self esteem.....healthy compromise occurs where there is room for healthy compromise, not something at the expense of oneself or another........compromise in its pure form is one of the greatest personal skills one can possess, and is necessary in order to relate in a positive fashion with another....however, the key here is that self respect should never be jeopardized.
