Any compromise begins with an established outline. There is no freedom where one party intimidates or influences to the point of setting rules through tyranny. Without a shared understanding to come to resolution that respects both parties what we have are the rules associated with prison lifestyle.

Granted, those who embrace their sin are never going to openly enter into agreement with God fearing people to live in share expectation. They will attempt first, intimidation or open disregard for a shared union of properties, rules and times. They regard Christians as push overs whose meekness leads to capitulation.

The problem begins with this fallacy. For God made this world and establishing engagement based upon the natural respect of the space, property and treatment of others is never more clearly defined then in the Bible, God’s Holy Word. The Ten Commandments are simple in their establishment of five that offend God and five that offend man.

Never expecting my neighbor to simply accept that I wish to live in peace but must project my brand of authority upon him as a dedicated philosophy promoting cohabitation. Any compromise must be arrived upon with mutual respect at its foundation. Without which one or both parties will waver between intimidation and self defense.

This is the dilemma of war. I want what I want when, how long and where I want it and this self-serving stance is the basis for all battles. I covet your things, your peace, your power to the point where I must project my will forcibly until you capitulate, perhaps hoping that you will give in to intimidation and simply give me what I want at all cycles.

God has intervened where man will fail each and every time without constraints of mature thinking brought about by Choice or a hate for war. Most prefer war. Therefore Christians must do all that they can according to God’s Word to live in harmony with their neighbor but also understand that the bulk of the world wants their sin and will resent, pressure and dare I say hate Christians for wanting a mutual peaceful understanding.

You don’t have to live by the Bible but just because I don’t wish to fight you does not mean that God will simply allow you to set the rules for mutual understanding. If you don’t wish to live by peaceful understanding and prefer prison rules then the established laws must govern such behavior. That is why prisons are necessary because many will never voluntarily relinquish their projection of survival of the fittest, cruelest or ruthless.

We get it you want to do what you want as you please and see no problem in my simply agreeing to this standard, especially if you can surround yourselves with a similar throng. However, why has society continued and not collapsed over the centuries because your path always leads to largess. Good people will only give so much before they determine that your mind set is recipe for chaos.

Just because old people are quiet and vulnerable that does not mean they will exceed to hearing your raucous banter deep into the evening. You wish to imbibe and get loud then do it inside your dwelling and expect that you will be met with resistance if/when that expression of freedom turns to quiet or loud intimidation. Freedom only exists when there is agreement to limit its impact upon neighbors.

Considering there is no primary or preliminary understanding at foundation to established engagement guidelines. Then this intimidation must either be accepted in capitulation or met with stern perhaps overwhelming resistance to the prison rule set that governs your pirate understanding. We wish peace and will go to the furthest reaches to embrace it. That does not translate into we are going to give in to quiet or loud intimidation and removal of our freedom to live in that peace in exchange for your projected authority. This is not prison.
