I expect because she loves you, Clara! (and who wouldn't? tee hee)
as to "subconscious" decisions, those are not what I was referring to. And as to referring to compromises as "virtuous", I was not meaning to get into that area, either, though it is certainly connected.
I was more meaning to look at choices we have, many of us, made to either neglect or nurture our feminine side, and how that has affected the happiness and/or contentment with our lives. Have the tradeoffs we have made to sustain relationships or please others, still allowed adequate room to sustain our own happiness and well being? Is it possible to give so much that in the process we lose ourselves entirely? On the other hand, have some, seeking only their own happiness, not given enough to ensure the happiness of others in their lives, and how do they feel about that?
Compromise is a fine line of balance. I was merely wondering how this matter has impacted others on the forum.
Though, I suppose (pursuing the hypothetical a little too far), one might make a case that even subconscious decisions represent a form of imposed compromise.
