Compromising America
How often do you find yourself giving in, to do things someone else’s way? Do you agree with others, because you want to be reasonable? Ask yourself, were you wrong in to begin with though?
Listen I’m not saying that you have to be perfect. Perfection dosen’t exist. If you want to find someone, and know beyond a doubt that they’re wrong. Find somone who thinks they’re perfect. We all make mistakes, we’re all wrong sometimes. So if we’re all wrong sometimes, whats so scary about it? It’s something we should all be able to relate to, and work past it. Shouldn’t we all be learning and growing, even improving. If you’re getting better every day, you’re on the right track. If you’re compromising with yourself and saying, “I did my best, I guess I just can’t do anymore than that.”. You’re just standing still. No wonder why people are passing you by, then.
The biggest thing we have as a species, is our ability to adapt, overcome, change, with time and circumstance. Perfection isn’t what it’s about in life. The search for perfection, the constant improvements even in small ways. Thats the big deal, its about living. Those that improve thrive. Those that don’t stagnate, and die. You can’t improve yourself if you constantly compromise whats right for whats easy.
Things come down to competition. The real opposite of compromise. If you work harder, smarter, better than the other guy, you win. Compromisers want you to give in, play nice. You’re supposed to give up what you’ve earned, to make them feel better. Worse than that, you’re supposed to give up what your accomplishing for society, to make them feel better. Competition breeds improvement, constantly having to better yourself, and your service. To stay ahead of the other guy. It allows society to reap the rewards. When you compromise with the competition. Work together, the only thing society gets. Is a mediocre product at twice the price. It wouldn’t be nice to do better than your competitor after all. They shouldn’t have to work harder to beat you to the punch. That might not be fair.
Compromise stems from a single issue. Right will beat wrong every time. Because the right thing to do, gets the job done. The only way to make someone doing it right lose when you do it wrong, is to make them give up. To compromise they’re position. Give you what you want, because they feel guilty for not being nice. If theres no compromise, then doing it the wrong way fails everytime.
I guess I’m trying to make a simple point. I would hope that anyone who reads this can say. “Of course I know that, it’s common sense”. Some how I just doubt, that will happen. If you compromise, you have to give up something that’s right, or else you wouldn’t need to compromise in the first place. When you give up on whats right, you move backwards, not forwards. Life from the beginning has been about improving, moving forward. If you don’t move forward, whats the point? I never thought stagnating like that was a real life. It just seems to boring to me.
