Compromising is for Pussies!

I’ve really come to hate a certain word.  It is said and implied so many times these days.  Implied with words such as, “Moderate”, and “Center”, or even “Balance”.  It is funny to me though, that every time, it is used by the ones on the losing side of a fight, to try to make one assume guilt for not letting another get their way.  The word is “Compromise”.  I’ve decided that compromise is my natural enemy.  More so than someone being outright opposed to me.  At least they have something they believe enough to take a firm stance on.  Compromise to me, is just another way of losing.  I’m not really speaking about “being right”, it is more of standing by principles.  Like, if you’re up against competing ideals, how can you give up a small part of your ideal, and still have it be worth anything?  Like, if you value something, and agree with somebody that it isn’t worth as much, how valuable was it to you in the first place?  It’s like having a chef make you delicious spaghetti, and then putting shit sprinkles on it.  Yeah it is really delicious spaghetti, but in the end you’re still eating shit.  Am I making any sense here?  At least in sports they’ve got it right.  The only consession ever made, is at least made honestly in defeat.  And neither side compromises their values.  Not even in the case of a loss.  In football, they’ll lose yardage due to penalties, not because they think the other team is right.  I think this is what happened to us guys.  I think that compromise is just a word made up, to make a loophole for the losing side to guilt the winning into losing after all they’ve worked for.  It’s like robbery to me. 

Like the great Vince Lombardi said, “Show me a good loser, and I’ll show you a loser.”  Kick major ass everybody.
