Healthy disagreement, debate, leading to compromise has always been the American way.

I don't feel that an atmosphere of debate and total disagreement and argument is such a bad thing. It makes for a vital and alive field.

Clarity
Something agreed upon by some,
That makes absolutely no sense...
To the one who grows tired
Of convincing and listening to others
Argue over whether a discussion can be made,
Resulting in a conclusion that saves 'face'
Producing bona fide results?
'Without' a healthy debate or disagreement?
And purposely shutting out others,
Who have opinions no one consults?
There is certainly something else that can be done.
A movement done by one when there is none!
Suddenly...
Something happens!
An actual decision is made...
When a mouth is closed!
Clarity is achieved,
When perceptions that will never change
Are left alone!
There is a sense of satisfaction that occurs.
And the one who leaves with nerves intact...
Has accomplished much more than was intended!
With no offense or actions to defend!
Especially when unnoticed BS begins...
Sending the attraction for an unregretted exit!
With a leap towards fresh air there,
Ever so inviting!
Clarity?
Never complex in its simplicity!

The Earthly Bias....
you are
this man torn between
sky and sea
you belong to the earth
take note
pray
that the sky shall not blind you
neither the
sea to drown you
take the middle
compromise, compromise,
compromise
always have that
compromise
the earth is still the most
beautiful place
to live
give it the bias
that for the meantime
it deserves

Be healthy
You should eat healthy
and be healthy.
Instead of having juice,
have fruits.
Instead of having junk,
have some green fun.
So, stay healthy
by eating green
and advise others also the same green fun
you should eat healthy
and be healthy! ! !

The 'morality of compromise' sounds contradictory. Compromise is usually a sign of weakness, or an admission of defeat. Strong men don't compromise, it is said, and principles should never be compromised.

If I remain healthy, I can win more races, but I don't think so much about setting new records. I'm already proud to have become the leading Austrian World Cup racer.

The Soul
subsumed in the syllables
of the conscience it speaks
at dawn,
'this should have been this
the ought and must'
the body feels its softness
afraid of its purity the body declares
' i am human and i have needs
you must understand'
poles apart, one sleeps the other wakes up
upon a disagreement the mind suffers
the body wanders throughout the night
uttering a justification
the soul listens attentively
the eyes of the heart now speaks
'there must be a compromise somewhere
a middle, the mean, what must, what is'
time plays the game
the body is the boat, the soul its watcher

Compromise makes a good umbrella but a poor roof.
Healthy people are those who live in healthy homes on a healthy diet; in an environment equally fit for birth, growth work, healing, and dying... Healthy people need no bureaucratic interference to mate, give birth, share the human condition and die.

Weaklings Are Blessed
Healthy fruits are plucked;
Healthy plants are infested.
Healthy animals are slaughtered.
The weaklings have longer life.

Everyone assumes America must play the leading role in crafting some settlement or compromise between the Israelis and the Palestinians. But Jefferson, Madison, and Washington explicitly warned against involving ourselves in foreign conflicts.
Industry keeps the body healthy, . . . and the purse full.
Reliable data on the outsourcing of American jobs is sorely missing from the debate on globalization.
