Sacrifice


Sacrifice, sometimes called religious faith or unnecessary manslaughter. You know what I call sacrifice. I call it a burden, I call it love, I call it being human.

Sacrifice is a heavy word that nobody wants to hear. The willingness to sacrifice is not in human nature

But as humans do it anyway even if it brings us pain. We do it for love, we do it for pleasure, and we do it for something greater than ourselves.

Sacrifice defines itself as destruction or surrender of something for the sake of something else. The real question is when it comes time to sacrifice will you be ready?
