"We don't negotiate with terrorists" is a good motto in movies, but in reality we negotiate with terrorists all the time, because lives are more important than pride.
The truth of reality is that compromise is the best way to find peaceful coexistence between people. The trick is to find the balance where you don't give up too much without getting anything in return. Sadly it's often hard to find that balance, and trial and error is often the most effective method, because so few people are willing to just discuss their insecurities and find an equitable compromise.
