  7. Seemingly charmed, George had to work hard to compensate his family for his absence. The influx of gifts was constant. They cleared spaces for more flowers, jewellery, toys and games. In April they arrived home one day to find a golden labrador puppy pooping on the doormat. In August the dog was joined by an Andalusian pony who outgrew the back yard within weeks. George sent things he thought would make them happy, but he no longer knew them. He didn’t know if his boy could structure a sentence or throw a curve ball, and he never knew that his baby girl prayed to God very night for Daddy to come home.

  9. Some people have better abilities than others, however they don’t have or lack the confidence to use these abilities to the full. They think that they must compensate for their shortcomings but if only someone told them that they were good enough in the first place, they would have nothing to worry about. No need to compensate for anything!

    She glared at him and said, “What exactly are your services?”

  13. How do we compensate for dimensionality? What we do, what we will do, and what we don’t do? How can we ever expect people to forgive us, or for them to repay us?

    It isn’t a question of what: it’s a question of when.

    Iceman
  14. He was burdened with the haunting notion to give and receive, that everything once received must be relinquished to someone else. The everlasting ghost of compensation lingered on his ever silenced lips, hiding the truth that he had everything.

    Katrina Ingham
  15. Everyone in the world felt the need to compensate for someone else. The brutality of their own minds pressured them with insanity and the endless material giving drove them to their own extinction. In the end, nothing was left. Nothing but moral compensation.

    Katrina
  16. He needs to compensate for it one way or another. Otherwise, his actions from the past will continue to haunt him forever.

  20. The left hand shifted upward as the boy tipped more acorns into the right, sending it shifting (grumble rumble creaaaaakily) down towards the floor. Then the most marvelous thing of all happened: the eye in the woman-shaped scale /winked/. He gasped, and the remained of the acorns spilled out of his hand and onto the floor.

  21. He slid the money across the money, and Clara thought slime should be oozing from his fingertips. Her mother grabbed the cash quickly, her eyes averted, and the man simply smirked. But Clara knew they would never be fully compensated for all they had seen. All they had lived through. So she followed her mother meekly out of the room, but all the while her fingers pinched her palms, plotting murder.

  22. don’t try to hide behind false notions of validity. Accept your good and bad and deal with them. You owe nothing and nothing is owed to you.

  23. let’s not get crazy, she said.
    they laughed and wouldn’t stop.
    they spun in circles and broke the physics
    of normal joints and aging.

    let’s go off to the moon.
    let’s compensate later.
    you leave them to their
    empty laughter and lazy circles.

    Seem smarter

    Try harder

    You make me better and worse at the same time.

  26. Compensate? Compensate for what? My hellish life, barren, broken, battered? My lack of morals, judgement, emotions? I can’t compensate with things I don’t have.

    Sierra
  27. He was going to need compensation. He was going to need revenge. No one lays a finger on his brother without getting it chopped off. He was going to find that demon even if it killed him. That demon was done for.

  28. Without your eyes or your smile
    or your red hear
    my Love hangs on your every word.
    Break up with me
    the way I taught you to break up
    and Love me the way you taught me
    to Love
    L as in Lisa,
    L as in Love.

  29. If you compensate
    I will masturbate
    enough to inflate

    big chain your brain

  30. He had to compensate for the fact that she was a complete dumbass. No gun, no knife. How was she going to protect herself. Sighing, he shoved his shotgun into her hand and picked up a knife. He hoped it would work on this demon.

  31. Things don’t compensate.
    Okay, maybe a little, they do. But never fully, and the best thing to do is just to let go, because nothing can ever compensate for a thing the way that thing would.
    But if the thing was there, there would be no need to compensate, and life would be alright.
    Or just simply boring.

  32. i tried to compensate for the lack of muscular build. i’m so sorry. i guess its the way i was raised. just like my father and his father before him. i come from a long line of doctors but i always wanted to be an actor.

  33. I used to sit in drivers ed, ready to learn all about safety and with rapt attention.
    Then I met my teacher. Scott was lazy, racist, perverted, and overall nauseating. He hated his job, hated teenagers, and hated his life. He used to call monster trucks “compensation vehicles,” and laugh with that chocking cough.
    He taught me more than any other drivers ed teacher could.

  34. “You will be compensated for your services,”
    Tamsin blinked, nonplussed. “Money’s not really the problem here, honey. The whole ‘asking me to murder someone’ thing, now, THAT’S a problem area,”
    She frowned. “I don’t understand; I was told you-”
    “Wait, wait, TOLD?” she asked, crossing to the window and peeking through the shades. “You said you wanted to kill someone and they sent you HERE? Who?”

  35. The woman had learned to compensate for the weaknesses in her life. Not all of them, of course, were of her own doing. Her husband’s weaknesses — or weakness (If only he’d quit drinking) — had cost her so very much. Time. True happiness. Companionship. Opportunity to flourish in her community. So she had compensated by applying her time and energy to her profession. She spent copious amounts of time and energy at work. She enjoyed it. It was a place and a situation in which she could succeed. Her colleagues at work only knew the positive side of her life. And she continuously strove to polish that until it shined.

  36. Compensate for my will to appreciate, if I’ve lost it
    Compensate for the direction I appeal to reason and when my heart fails to recognize itself,
    tell it so
    Compensate for my lack of ability to determine how much ability I have
    Compensate for freedom of speech when silence is all that is needed
    Compensate for the losing benefits of desiring something that is not yet to be,
    and losing sight of reality

  37. I wondered if the success would compensate the years I worked and sacrificed. It’s so easy to lose sight in what matters… But I guess that’s what happens when you want to change the world and leave an impact on those that follow you. With a world full of so many shadow people, we need some to step out in the light to lead the way.

  38. You say that whatever I do will compensate for all the time you’ve spent on me. That it’ll be worth it. That you don’t need anything in return. Don’t you realize though that it’s not for you? It’s for me. I can’t live knowing that I haven’t done anything in return.

  39. Compensate is when you give up something you like for someone else, even though you like what you like, and they like something else. It’s a cute concept, especially when in love with someone.

  40. He couldn’t compensate for the lack of her skills. They needed her here, or this mission wouldn’t be successful. X ran out the door after her, already planning the usual come-back-we-need-you-don’t-do-this speech in his head. Already ready to drag her back by force if he had to.
