Looking for Drama??? Well you found it. There's a bit of it all here....read along! |
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 To cause inconvenience to; trouble: The snow inconvenienced the holiday travelers. -------------------------------------------------- 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 ~The Bek |
