We often chose to settle for 'compromise' or 'letting go' instead of having a conversation. I believe this is so because we've been burnt in the attempt to be confrontational in past experiences. We dread it but it is the most value adding integral part of human life to our quality of life. Just as we've mastered avoiding it, over time we can master different ways to make it a normal part of us as it should be. Our lives after each encounter improve, it does more good to life if it's in a healthy way.
