Compromise

Compromise is a funny word, don't you think? Suggests that you should give up something you believe is right just to please someone else. Someone you think is morally wrong. Compromise. Doesn't sound like the best concept in the world, especially when suggested by people who want nothing more than to complicate your otherwise happy, carefree existence. I know it sure doesn't sound fun to me. But maybe that's because I'm what a select few would consider stubborn. But I don't think that's a bad thing when I'm trying to ward off bad influences or people who absolutely thrive on that wretched beast, drama. Is it too much to ask not to be involved in the problems and petty vendettas of people with whom I wish to have no affiliation? But lo and behold, I keep getting dragged forcibly into the heart of conflict right when the coast appears clear. I think I might write the words COMPROMISE-FREE across my forehead in black Sharpie. I'm pretty sure most people would catch my drift....
