The statement compares compromising beliefs to adhering to them and itconcludes that insisting one's own beliefs is less detrimental for anyone.Surely defending one's own standpoint is a good way to show confidence andstaying away from credulity. Leaders who are always assertive are sometimesmore likely to have prestige among members. However, being overly confident andadhering to oneself will give rise to some bad results. Therefore, we may needto be negotiable in some situations.
Certainly the speaker's opinion is no doubt right under the assumptionthat this person's certain point is definitely correct. Look at a hypotheticalexample, if someone now says that the earth is flat instead of round with thestatus quo, I'd like to negate this view of point and insist that the earth isround. I'm so sure that the earth is round because we have already known thattruth from Magellan's circumnavigation, the lunar eclipses and all the way tophotographic evidence. Sticking to my view is the evidence that I believe inthe science, because that's the fact that had already been proved thousands oftimes. In this case, considering compromising with that person is no doubtstupid and harmful. Compromising with these kinds of things is time-consumingand needless. More extremely, always compromising to others can be recognizedas bigotry, which is a dangerous situation that this person is credulous.Credulous people are always pathetically used or agitated by demagogues withsome ulterior motives. Therefore, sometimes we should be firm and confident insome of our own opinions.
Conversely, being headstrong all the time is dangerous and one can beregarded as a geek. Sometimes, one who is overly adamant will easily makepeople feel uncomfortable and as a consequence, people will more or lessisolate or even discard him. This kind of undue assertiveness may get a persontotally lost in his own life and this is where some of the geeks come from. Atthis rate, a moderate compromise seems the best way to save him out. It is alsoreasonable because nobody can guarantee that he or she is always insightful andthinking in a right way. Missteps are made by everyone, taking someone else'advise is sometimes an advisable choice. In this sense, stubbornness is theobstacle to improve ourselves or solve a problem. Listening to others'suggestions and measure pros and cons of both sides is the key to the success.
To solve a problem properly is not a piece of cake. But things can be easierand less harmful if you scrutinize in and fully analysis what are you believeand others suggest. Simply saying which of compromising or adhering is morebeneficial is feckless. Both blindly confidence and bigotry are not the rightto way to deal with an issue. Thus, none of them can be said more harmful thanthe other without a particular situation. Being assertive in some proper milieuswill show your deciveness and behaving the other side is sometimes the approachto be easygoing and humble. |
