Is everything a compromise?


Our whole life exists in making compromises- as a growing child, a changing adolescence, a competitive young adult, a managing middle age adult and a fully lived life of old human. We try to adjust and try to see that we blend with the society that has created us. So two questions arise in our minds-"Should I follow the rules that society has created for me?" or "Should I break out of the societal norms?".
Today, a lot of youth like me follow rules in studies and break rules in life. In life, we keep repeating this cycle and lack the satisfaction that we search. We all dream that we want to grow up to become something different   and something that quenches our thirst. In the same time, we need to sustain ourselves by earning enough. Again it is one or the other compromise. To which one do we answer- self satisfaction or money?
In home, we come back tired from a whole day of activities and we are expected to help our families with at least a bit of chores and work. So again we come back to compromise- rest or respect? At work or study, we are asked to do our best, outshine others, get ranks(especially first), keep achieving. At the same time, we hear value education classes saying "help others", gain goodness in life, be the friend in need. which one would you choose to compromise- Grades or Goodness? In the similar tone, we work hard to succeed in life, the strains, the complaints, the back bitting and all the politics. On the flip side, there will a family saying, "Lets spend some time together, you are only bothered about work" so on and so forth. Again what will you compromise- Future or Family?
We don't get answers for these questions in our classrooms or even by friends and peers. At the end of the day, we even learn to compromise by experiences that we face in life. There is a saying that says" Circumstances do not make everything in a man's life but rather it is that choice that man makes that twists the circumstance." So it is down to our own choice- to make or to break.
We know that life is short to compromise everything. Lets get back to our childhood and the mind of that small child to follow our dreams. That same uncompromised passion and the fire to last it out. Eventually, beggars cannot be choosers. So, 'Do what you love or love what you do.'
In the context of compromise, COMPROMISE YOUR DREAMS or COMPROMISE YOUR LIFE. The choice is down to you......
