Comprehending the uncompromisable

I wish for resolution with one particularly un-resolvable issue.  What do you do with situations,conflicts or problems that, inherently, can not be equitably dispatched?  Where no compromise can ever be reached, just by the sheer nature of the disagreement- can there ever be a victory for one without complete annihilation of the other?

Ralph Waldo Emerson said: "For everything you have missed, you have gained something else, and for everything you gain, you lose something else." 


Although I logically understand this, I don't think I have the strength to live it- yet.  How do you put aside a dream that feels more like a need?  Or more to the point: How do you set aside your dreams and expectations without gaining regret and resentment?

This is truly something that I am throwing out to the universe.  I am committing to this wish with everything I've got!  Let's see what comes back....
