Compromises!

Life is always abt best compromises!
I started wondering.. how is it two people with total different nature knot into a relationship and get going for a long time.. (long time to be read “life time”!)

Again Relationships includes friendship, the inner circle of relatives with whom one tends to live his life out!
Misunderstandings do happen, fights do break out…. But everything vanishes out like thin smoke. Smoke because, its existence is not wipe out but its just dissolved (present in particulate form!) in bigger picture called LIFE.
The small differences are converted into Compromises; the small fights are considered silly trivial tussles.
How is it we choose the right people for making life wonderful. Often compromises outgrow the basic interests we have.. When this is the case the choice of person becomes the ultimate question.
The problem with the process of choosing the right person is that, one will know the effectiveness of the choice long after he chooses and spend a considerable time of his LIFETIME with that person. By then, it is often too late and it becomes the time for the BEST Compromises to cast its entry into the Stage.
Or rather, it is this way, the considerable time spent with his choice changes his attitude and “best compromises” could be replaced by “changes for the better”…!
Whatever it is … as long as her is enjoying his life (after we all have only one life time to live!), Compromise or change shouldn’t be a big issue!

If you are wondering what kindled such a post in my blog after a long time… well then…the scores of Shashhibdhapoorthi (60th bday of couples) and 25th wedding anniversary party invites are the reason!
Well…of course it their time to celebrate and let the world know they have made the best compromises !! Don’t they?

Don't know how people can compromise. I can never go for a compromise. May be I'm too idealistic.

compromises are compromises... where does best or worst come in the picture.... Life itself is a compromise....

Its great when we see ppl stickin together for a life time. But for that they have worked hard... Worked hard in not falling apart!

But then, one fundamental question, ours was not that a liberal society. Its only now that we are opening up, the divorce rates are shooting up, because ppl are not willing to compromise because they have more options and most importantly, freedom(read as "financial independance")!

/*(after we all have only one life time to live!), Compromise or change shouldn’t be a big issue!*/

Its just one life time... and y must I compromise? Thata might be a valid question.

May b some years down the line.. u may find a different picture all together... but then.. u never know!

COMPROMISE ?

Why-in-the-world should anyone compromise ? I find it too "empty in the head" to make compromises, and my opinion of people who do it is the same. But,I understand these kind of people, how they do what they do. I was one of them till some time back.

"Make Compromises, Be Compromised."

I firmly believe those four words. I mean, nothing is ever worth making a compromise. Not Friends, Not Family, Not Work, Not Relationships, Not even Love. I know this to be true because if you truly desire something, you can always find a way to attain it sans making a compromise. This goes for all that jazz about caring for family, for others, for friends, for love...etcetera.

Compromise is not the right word for it. If you are compromising, you can never have a successful relationship-friendship or otherwise.

I think a good relationship is about understanding the other person's needs, wanting to fulfill those needs and being the one to fulfill them.

If you are compromising you are doing it with a heart that says

"Ok! I am doing this, but I would rather be doing that"

when it should be " I am doing this because it makes me happy"
