Meno: “There are situations where in order to be accepting of other people you would have to compromise on your own values. Not saying there’s no way around it, it’s just very difficult. It’s not as simple as just “getting along”.”
I think it’s also important to remember that sometimes one really does have to choose between compromising his values and getting along with others and there may not be a way around it, and in some cases, the right thing to do according to the Torah is to NOT compromise even when it seems to entail less achdus.
Of course, there are times when one is supposed to be more “maikel” and “compromise his values” for the sake of getting along with achdus, but there are times when that is not the right thing to do, and it may be the Yetzer hara telling us that the most important thing is achdus.
Hopefully, most of the time, we can find ways to do both, but sometimes it’s not possible and then we have to make sure we find out the right thing to do in that particular situation.
