Compromise and Surrender

All compromise is based on give and take, but there can be no give and take on fundamentals. Any compromise on mere fundamentals is a surrender. For it is all give and no take.Mahatma Gandhi

I saw this quote on Facebook and found a copy of it where I could use it for my blog. I have found this to be very true in life. Look at the way the government compromises and it works out where it does not move anything forward. The reason why is they ignore the fundamental truth of what is needed.

Fundamentals are keeping people healthy, taking care of them, and making it so the government, and life gives them the basic things they need in their life. Prayer can be a powerful tool but many religions also ignore the fundamentals when they try to control the people who worship in their churches. Every religion has something to keep the people healthy, and rules to make it where people socialize and work together.

The world has compromised so many things that it used to stand for and it takes thought to wonder if we should have made the changes. Yet many changes have been good. It is all about balance which includes give and take. A form of balance is in everything that we do.

Good and evil are a balance and when the world goes more one way than the other the world is a different places until they are balanced. A person's life and success depends upon balance. There are ups and downs in every persons life because you can not be one thing all of the time. Positive change can be good and the bad changes are a chance to work upon yourself and any issues that you may have.

I have always had things I would and would not do. Everyone should realize that there are things they should not compromise on no matter what happens to them. It is a surrender to becoming something that you do not like.
