We don't always get what we want. Sometimes it's a small thing that we overlook and keep moving past, and sometimes it's a bit more important. All of us have our absolutes, though.

What is, by your standards, worth fighting for? What principles are you willing to be an asshole about because you refuse to compromise? Some people have more of these than others -- they're the people who are regularly referred to as "difficult to deal with" or something to that effect. Many times those people also seem to be the ones who get the most consistent (and effective) results.
