Is being flexible compromising or growth?
True, our basic personality traits are set at a very early age, some are even innate.pool said:Yeah, people can and do change, but if it's not in their genetic or environmental programming they won't stray far, as that will always be part of their essence.
I believe that we are capable of "adjusting" to different situations or people but our basic nature is still the same.The hardest part abt acknowledgement is not to suppress it again and taking action. One really has to want to and feel comfortable with the possibility of change. It's all to easy to withdraw into what we are familiar with and seemingly secure.
Yes, it is confusing, if you think too much. We all "compromise" everyday in some way. I know that my willingness to "compromise" varies by individual and situation. Excellent question ... I guess that one could say that "acceptance" is "compromise" or perhaps .. Acceptance is the willingness to be flexible.Flower, this is a confusing topic. Whatever happened to "compromise" in this whole equation. I suppose, the ability to compromise, in itself, is part of who we are, so if we should accept people we should accept their ability, or lack there of, to compromise. Is acceptance compromise ?
