Summary

This quote suggests that compromise and sacrifice are essential in life. Sometimes, in order to protect ourselves or retain some semblance of control, we must be willing to give up a small part of our time, energy, or resources. By making these small sacrifices, we hope to prevent complete loss or defeat. In essence, it promotes the idea that in certain situations, it's better to relinquish a fraction of what we have rather than risking losing everything.
