Not at all. It's so VERY true and probably the only true hope we have as a species. Without compromise all can be lost very fast and it becomes expensive too. Symbiotic relationships in nature are often the strongest. Any animal/plant that tries to go too far, too fast. too selfishly, will always be brought back in toward the middle line of evolution by nature (or becomes extinct). Mankind has not learned that yet even though they see it all the time.

Mediocrity is rapidy disappearing and yet, when you lok at all struggles, it is that which brings about answers that are sustainable in the world.

"Compromise is not weakness. It shows strength and trust" should become the battlecry of survival for us!
