The Nature of Compromise

Compromise is presented as a journey that extends beyond a singular choice; it initiates with seemingly small decisions. The initial step on this path involves neglecting to do the right things, which often appears inconsequential but gradually influences one's moral integrity. Following this step, the focus shifts to dwelling on wrongdoings rather than actively engaging in them, leading to further rationalization of harmful thoughts and desires. This progression reinforces the idea that sin does not always begin with overt actions but rather with subtle shifts in mindset and behavior.
