I don't want stuff that's compromising to me as a person, but as long as it has a pathway to redemption and has meaning, there's something solid in that in terms of the way I experience it.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
But rarely have I made choices that made me feel I was really compromising what I believe.
Everything that has happened to me is of value to me. As painful as certain things are, and have been, and were, there's a use for those things in my life and in my work.
In a relationship, when does the art of compromise become compromising?
I spent a long part of my childhood repressing my more animalistic desire systems, and in a way, it permits me to do some of the stuff that I would want to be doing in a way that's more comfortable and doesn't break my internal rules. It expands the realm of possibility.
I personally have a philosophy around authenticity and vulnerability.
Speaking for myself, my very integrity as a human being needs to include my freedom to explore who I am both spiritually and sexually. Not just to explore - but to practice.
Protect me from what I want.
If you greatly desire something, have the guts to stake everything on obtaining it.
I believe in letting each person find what they need and not getting involved with their destiny.
Anything that makes it easier to imagine trading places with someone else increases your moral consideration for that other person.
