Something lasting for something fleeting...

I've posted this before, but it's worth re-reading, and it fits with my most recent post...


Compromise occurs when I sacrifice

something lasting for something fleeting

the holy for the unholy

the heavenly for the earthly

the eternal for the temporary.

That which I gain in so doing will never

be worth the price I have to pay for it.

Compromise

Compromise occurs
when I sacrifice...
something lasting
for something fleeting
the holy for the unholy
the heavenly
for the earthly
the eternal
for the temporary.
That which I gain
in so doing will never
be worth the price
that I have to pay for it.
