Healthy Compromise
Compromise connotes different concepts to different people. While it is frequently used in the business world, it might mean a lack of integrity to others. However, achieving a healthy compromise is crucial for sustainable relationships.
What is healthy compromise?
It does not mean giving up what you truly stand for or who you truly are. It does not imply taking shortcuts and relinquishing your personality to second- or third-best because you are impatient or afraid. Rather, it is about identifying how to negotiate a win-win position for both parties. It sometimes calls for making effort to view issues through the eyes of the other person involved in the circumstance or problem.
Healthy compromise is one of the secrets to a stable society. It is the attribute of healthy relationships. It’s tempting to write off someone as “wrong” or “selfish” and refuse to see any other opinion except your own. A situation where everyone proves his/her right in every argument most times leads to a toxic environment.
Love seeks healthy compromise because peace is the utmost. Keep building a healthy society. Blessing!
