The Great Compromise


I have two very enlightening classes this semester. With my schedule, it is good to have classes I can just think about. And since my head is in the clouds all the time anyway,  it feels so much better than to daydream about a class subject rather than stress or obsess be scared about, or even want to skip. Just think, ponder, and wonder. And maybe even enjoy going to class (even though that might be a stretch...)

In American Government, our professor asked us about the Golden Rule of Politics. "What is something all politicians must to?" And of course, we all said LIE. (Lol, which wasn't right) He asked who all wanted to be a politician, and no one volunteers. So he compared politics to relationships, hoping we would get the answer because Relationships are must more relatable to most college teens than Politics. He asked how many were in a relationship, and many hands soared. "What is something you must do in a relationship?" And again, we all said LIE. 
After I laughed, I thought and thought, about all of the relationships based on lies make it, and how many fail. How many people are married, with kids, are lying to their friends, families, spouses, or even to themselves? How do lies hurt? Can lies help? Why do we have the need to lie in a relationship?

The word our professor wanted us to say was compromise. Politicians must compromise. We must compromise in relationships. We must give to get. We must share to gain. 

The other class, we are talking about Intuition. It is a fascinating subject that I will continue and continue to blog about (I'm sure) because it connects to almost everything we do. Is it intuition that tells us we should lie, though logically we know we should compromise with our significant others? 

More later, of course...
