“Can’t we all just get along?” If only it were that simple.
Whether discussing politics, social issues, or even watching your kids decide on if they should have Froot Loops versus Count Chocula for breakfast, fulfilling Romans 12:18 can often be a lot more challenging than we’d like. Sooner or later, we all have to compromise.
Now obviously, compromise can often be a positive action to promote, as everyone’s needs and desires needn’t necessarily be fulfilled in exactly the way they would like them to be all the time.
For example, good parents are constantly walking their children through this type of process to enable them to develop social maturity (we’ll have peanut butter toast today because it’s Johnny’s favorite and have mac and cheese tomorrow for Susie, etc.). Such compromises help serve everyone without altering the main principle under discussion (in this case, the fact we all need to eat).
