Those are always the wrong reasons for compromise.<br /><br />I think, really, that my point of "never say never" is that a lot of us use the word "never" far too easily when it is a strong, powerful word that doesn't apply to so many of the situations that we apply it to.<br /><br />Thanks for reading and taking time to leave such well thought-out comment.Kathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02202212892774623935noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6975816856180591244.post-3448609316328377782014-07-17T16:41:12.922-04:002014-07-17T16:41:12.922-04:00Oh, please don't try to eliminate words from t...Oh, please don't try to eliminate words from the English language, especially not good, strong words like "never."<br /><br />There are times when you should give in to others for the sake of peace, but to compromise your principles? I don't know if that's totally wise. I love having stability and something I can stick to and be just a little hard-headed about. Maybe it's because I've always been the odd one out in my family, but I really hate compromising, especially when other people pressure me to do so. Sometimes you have to stand up for yourself even when everyone else is different. I guess what I'm trying to say is: don't compromise just to do what everyone else is doing.<br /><br />Sorry, I hope this doesn't sound like a rant. Your post was cleverly done, and I did enjoy it.Kathrynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05339091544962023545noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6975816856180591244.post-9298611520979390732014-06-30T14:04:34.927-04:002014-06-30T14:04:34.927-04:00Thanks Kelly and thank you for stopping by :)Thanks Kelly and thank you for stopping by :)Kathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02202212892774623935noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6975816856180591244.post-68402384225065086282014-06-30T14:03:46.497-04:002014-06-30T14:03:46.497-04:00Sometimes Mom really does know best ;)Sometimes Mom really does know best ;)Kathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02202212892774623935noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6975816856180591244.post-34937842117620403802014-06-30T13:43:20.807-04:002014-06-30T13:43:20.807-04:00How sad it would be to miss out on opportunities t...How sad it would be to miss out on opportunities that could enrich your life if you chose not to bend, not to compromise on something.
