I think the author's point is that reality has limits. Sometimes you can have your cake and eat it too, but often, a person must choose only one of many things they value. I believe the author's point is that the necessity of choice demonstrates what they really value.

Utopia is no place. Reality is limited. Choose wisely.

Totally, but the bad compromise that I think many people find themselves in is regretting having pets because they can't travel, and regretting not traveling because they have pets. Whereas good compromise could be deciding not to have pets but volunteering at the local animal shelter (for example).
