About This Quote

Compromise is a stalling between two fools, and it does nothing to solve the problem. Compromise is a way to avoid conflict. When people who do not agree with each other find themselves in conflict, they often find themselves drawn to compromise as a way to avoid conflict. This action makes no one happy.

In fact, it usually creates more problems than it solves. For example, if a husband and wife have different views on finances for the family they often compromise by saying that each will give what he or she can afford from their own income. However, the problem with this kind of compromise is that neither person is happy, and both are still unhappy by the time they leave the situation.
