Sacrifice

Thinking of this topic, the only thing I could actually find out is that, like pain, ‘Sacrifice’ is a penalty for being human, or actually for being alive…

But what is the maximum sacrifice that can be given? To whom?

Building on the philosophy of Einstein’s relativity, there is not a definite answer for these two questions. Whether this is a big sacrifice or a little one, the most accurate answer depends on how you organize your life and surroundings.

Coming to school and calling your mother to tell her not to worry about you when you are outside are two sacrifices we make all the time without looking at them as ones. Almost every day when we come to school - I don’t exclude teachers and staff here - we are making sacrifice of time and effort. What makes us not notice these sacrifices is the result that we get from it which eliminates our feeling of loss.

Sacrifice, by definition, is giving up something important or valuable in order to get or do something that seems more important. Therefore, going to college, or keeping a job is more important than coming to school, and this is why we even pay the effort. The come out does not have to be concrete; so the feeling of relief your mother has when you call her is more important than cutting a slack of your time no matter how busy you might be.

Perhaps giving sacrifice is not that tough job. Well, not when you don’t regret it. If there is not a route in life that does not require sacrifice, it should be done wisely. Socrates said, “It is not sophisticated to sacrifice for a friend. The true difficulty is to find the friend worth the sacrifice.”
