Let me make it very clear: when i say compromise i do not mean capitulation. when i say compromise i definitely do not mean what jesus christ meant when he offered us to turn our other cheek to our enemies. compromise means, try to meet the other somewhere half-way. and, this can only happen if the other is willing to go half-way in order to meet you. that is the very strict line between compromise and capitulation. i'm a great believer in compromises. i do not believe in capitulation.
Jesus Believe Mean

I'm a great believer in compromise. i know it's not popular among young idealists. compromise is not popular. it's not at all popular among young people who these days call themselves "activists." they think compromises are dishonest, opportunistic, humiliating. not in my vocabulary. in my vocabulary, the word "compromise" is synonymous to the word "life".

I'd be hard-pressed to think of anybody who's made me laugh, who's funny, but who's also relentlessly positive.

I think that political parties are fuelling this fear in order to create divisions. the more we bring up fear, the more we neglect real political issues. political debate in france is crumbling since every single issue is brought to islam now.
