I would tend to say that compromise is a necessity in the modern world. You will always come up against something or someone who is different than you, and if you cannot compromise, you will either completely follow anyone else's whims, or become an uncomfortable ogre.

Something my father used to say to me: "Compromise shows you are listening to the other person and take their matters seriously."
