Compromise

So let's say we need to go to the store. I want to go to K-mart that is north of where we are and you want to go to WalMart that is West of where we are. A compromise is would be to drive Northwest, but neither of us get to where we want and there is no store in that direction.

So instead, you say you want to go to Walgreens which is South of where we are. Seems reasonable but now the compromise is due West, and we end up at WalMart where you wanted to go anyway and I never get close to where I wanted to go and you get everything you wanted. Compromise kind of SUCKS!
