There are many examples throughout the Bhagavatam of fair play , understanding and negotiations.

Lord Indra, for example ,  became disturbed because King Priyavrata was about to complete a hundred consecutive sacrifices , giving him special powers.

(Indra was the only person who had previously completed such a task . )

But , BECAUSE he was the king of heaven and had naturally a large ego to go with his  prestigious position , so ,  Lord Bramha , on behalf of Krishna , negotiated with King Priyavrata , and it was settled that  King  Priyavrata would not complete the task and settled up for only  99 sacrifices .

Krishna wanted lord Indra to keep his pride and distinction in  his  place , which is important to leadership roles . So sometimes, in daily dealings the implementation of morals , ethics, and good behaviour are  implemented carefully and gradually and  not do not  always occur the way we would necessarily like events to unfold  , so patience is required . Certain  domestic and political sensitivities must come into play ,  some persons are not ready to immediately hear perfect good sense .  The material energies are as such , that  time and patience must  be adopted towards some  persons , and karmic situations worldwide are often beyond bewildering , nevertheless Divinity remains in full control , and the Srimad Bhagavatam can reveal to us the mysteries of Divinity and the free will and determinism of universal affairs.

The Bhagavatam has some absolutes and an awful lot of negotiations , compromise, and settlements. If one cares to study the Srimad Bhagavatam , one may be surprised by the above statement.  But Krishna is a very practical person ,  having given free will to His expansions .
