I totally agree with you, you need to compromise with life sometimes, whether you are happy with the situation or not.

 When the uncertainity goes against our wishes then compromises are the only way to survive. And those who lack this tactic of survival, sometimes, create unbearable hurdles for themselves.

 Yes i agree with you, life is sometimes uncertain and we need to compromise on it

 I do agree with first part of your debate i.e uncertainties but not with compromises. We need not compromise for everything

 Yes i do agree with you. Our future is not totally in our hands. Somewhere or the other we need to compromise

 Life is full of compromise it helps you work thought problems in life if someone cant do that they have a problem or will have problems in life and in relationships

 Totally. I'm very very confused about a lot of things right now and I'm trying to compromise with my friend... To tell the truth I think it's mainly my fault were fighting... I'm not sure what I did, but I'm trying to be mature enough to compromise with her so we can both have our way.

 Yes that's true, when you are uncertain about somethings in life you compromise. But some issues in life are not be compromised, you must stick what you are

 Great topic, and I expect we will see additional entries on the other side.

For my response, I say yes, the more I live, the more I find this to be a true statement.

Many of us would approach life as though there is a certain amount of precitability to it. Even chaos theory suggests a pattern, yet amid a pattern, my own life tends to constantly offer opportunities to re-define the possibilities within the broader pattern. The irony here is that uncertainty is perhaps the only constant--and that ability to make adjustment (for learning new things and managing new circumstance, for example) is the ultimate requirement for success and happiness in this life.

Flexibility in life is essential if one is not to go completely mad in one's existence. Our learning and our journey is dependent upon being able to address the moment, rather than to plan a future which we are uncertain will arrive, and is overflowing with variables.

Thank goodness we have been given the gift of critical thought to constantly monitor, to learn and integrate new information, and to adjust our way. We are lifelong learners. To not do so would be the equivalent of holding the steering wheel of a car at 90 degrees, and errantly thinking the road will stay straight ahead with no curves simply because we have been on a straight 90 degree road for 10 km.

Principles are helpful for guiding our lives, but adjustments in approach and behavior, and openness to new information and perspective are desirable and often required, and change is the only thing that survives.

 When a plan goes wrong a person has to have a back up plan so that in my opinion would be the same as a compromise. Almost always when something in life goes astray you have to make compromises.

 I guess so although its quite negative attitude towards life. However, its reality. Nobody knows what will happen tomorrow, and has to make decision based on assumption...
