One Vs The other

Okay, just a question for some of you.....

What do the following words mean to you? What is the difference between them?

Sacrifice
Compromise
Inconvenience

--------------------------------------------------
sac·ri·fice
1) The act of offering something to a deity in propitiation or homage, especially the ritual slaughter of an animal or a person.

A victim offered in this way.

2) Forfeiture of something highly valued for the sake of one considered to have a greater value or claim.

Something so forfeited.

3) Relinquishment of something at less than its presumed value.
Something so relinquished.

A loss so sustained.


--------------------------------------------------
com·pro·mise
1)
A)A settlement of differences in which each side makes concessions.
B)The result of such a settlement.

2) Something that combines qualities or elements of different things: The incongruous design is a compromise between high tech and early American.

3)A concession to something detrimental or pejorative: a compromise of morality.

--------------------------------------------------
in·con·ven·ience
1) The state or quality of being inconvenient.
2) Something inconvenient.

in·con·ven·ienced, in·con·ven·ienc·ing, in·con·ven·ienc·es

These are all definitions taken out of an online dictionary (www.dictionary.com).


This is only my opinion, but this is what i feel they are all about:

*Sacrifice*
I feel that this means that something is given, in one way or another, at one things ( a being) expense. Like an offering of some sort.

*Compromise*
I feel that this is a happy medium, so to speak, of 2 extremes. That all parties involved are "giving in" a bit.

*Inconvenience*
I feel that this is what happens when one party is made to suffer on behalf of another. To either give up space, personal belonging, etc.



Okay- so why this type of post? I dunno- just needed to clarify this. Let me know if you disagree.

PS- STOP ROLLING YOUR EYES
