The danger of compromise: This is a very subtle area of conduct that takes us by surprise when our principles are unclear since we cannot stand firm on something we ourselves don’t believe, have doubt about, or have not taken a firm and clear position on. For example, when an individual finds himself/herself in a situation they are unclear about, the pressure of the situation or from his peers weakens him, and he may find himself compromising by doing something he will later regret. Examples of this type of compromise is found when people are unclear of their standing on sexual behavior, drug or alcohol use, or any other act where we thought we wouldn’t compromise.
