GIVEN IN

COMPROMISE

Imaging pure white paint that you know is perfect for your purpose. You request a gallon. The salesperson says; No, no, no! Absolutely no! It is only going to upset all who see it. Professionals know better than homeowners do. You will become unpopular. Add a little red that makes it slightly off-white. That is what other people like. You give in.
A sweet elderly lady walks by, sees the off-white and says; oh, that color is offensive. What that needs is a little yellow to add depth. You give in. The results are upsetting to you, but both salesperson and woman are just so happy they were able to help prevent your error.
Your life-long friend happens in and yes, suggests a blue hone could add an 'earthy quality' that puts people at ease, like 'in-tune with nature'. You accept and pay fast with the paint in a bag so no one else gets to add to what you do not want.
You no longer have a white ceiling. It always looks like a dust storm catastrophe. Everyone says after hearing the story; "Well you must not have wanted white to begin with. You chose compromising what you thought your desired. The contributers do not live under your ceiling." 
Your money paid for THEIR plan, for their CHOICE  for your ceiling.

You intentionally gave up your free choice to keep-happy other people allowing them to design your life, your living conditions and your daily actions.  
If you no longer want to control you, there are millions of people willing to play with your life, LIKE A TOY DOLL. When you are deemed wrong standing in front of a judge, the millions will disappear after testifying that people are always responsible for their own decisions. Outsiders only make suggestions.

People can never escape final results for their initial failure to retain independent free choice.
How far will your life go ... 'in service of someone that never calls, does not know your name and always asks for your money to give to someone else?' What makes you … you?

Today, every American life is defined by strangers in Washington D. C., with no idea of the values in each person's heart. Anger comes out as individual violence, the last expression of freedom. Each person has a personal Declaration of Independence, an outbreak of Creator endowed inalienable RIGHT to choose what is right or wrong for self. Compromising too far, too often is not acceptable. Outside opinions rarely define who the individual actually is inside their own gut.
