Most of us struggle with the environment in which we live.  Invariably we do not get from life what we have expected.  Some common cases where people struggle to come to terms with their expectations and what they actually have are:-

Jobless Youth:- A youth after education may be jobless.  The reason is he has not got a appropriate job which suits his qualification.  It could also be that he is getting a far lesser pay that what  is his expectation.  His parents may be dependent on him for money, but still he does not want to compromise by going for a job which is not in line with his qualification and expected pay scale.

Leaving Job:- People leave their jobs because they feel the company is not paying them well enough.  Another reason is that the current job is not giving them satisfaction or do not have a scope to progress further.  As such they leave the job.  While it is fair enough to leave the job if they get a better opportunity or assured job elsewhere, some people just because they are dissatisfied with their current job leave it.  They prefer to be jobless till they get the next offer.  Their families may be dependent on them, but for them their ideologies are more important

Changing Residence:- As a tenant once a person feels that he is not getting the facilities he actually deserves, he just leaves it hoping for a house with better facilities elsewhere. He

Changing Spouse:- Once a person is not comfortable with his wife, he has a option of divorce which he executes it.  He has the option of choosing to be single or marrying again or remarry the same woman again.

If you look at the above points one thing is very clear that in every case there is an option and we choose to go with a better option according to our instinct or thinking.

Before concluding let us think of another major area of conflict.  When we have problems with our parents and kids can we divorce them as is the case with our spouses?

The answer is clear.  When we have options we become arrogant and do not want to compromise.  When we do not have an options we compromise with various situations as and when it crops up in our lives.

Friends, let us accept life is a compromise.  Please accept this truth.
