Why live for the future if you cant seize the day.

To put others' feelings before yours is a noble deed. Sacrifice, regardless of its form, should always be favoured upon, not to be frowned at, not to be judged or mocked.
Take a look at this definition of sacrifice: an act of offering to a deity something precious; especially : the killing of a victim on an altar. Ultimate sacrifice: the giving of a life. But to put it in this context, they call this sacrificial killing.
Recently, an Iraqian man killed his daughter for her philandering and outlandish ways. They call this honour killing.
In both cases, the tragic similarity is fatality, and both are sacrifices, the first for a god; the other for pride.
Even though in both cases they appear ridiculous and seemingly tramples on my thesis of sacrifice, it still stands. We are just looking at the situations in the eyes of a different culture.

When someone makes a sacrifice, it is so easy to misjudge, it is so simple for anyone to scoff the intentions.

A drug addict checks himself into rehabilitation for the sake of his girlfriend; could not take the withdrawal symtoms, goes into depression.
A child gives up his playing time to study hard, cant take the pressure, stress.
A girl gives up her relationship with another girl for the sake of her mum, misery.

There is a price to pay for everything as we can infer.

Let's look at another scenario.
The drug addict cuts down his intake with the help of his girlfriend, and enter rehab when he is in a more prepared state of mind while at the same time, be the best man he can be for his gf.
The child decreases her playing time, and decreases it even more when the exams draw near, and in the meantime, be the best student she can achieve.
The girl does not give up her relationship just like that, but instead talk things out with her gf, and meanwhile, be a good daughter in other ways.

Something like that huh?

Sacrifice just cannot come suddenly. The drug addict's gf.. she sees her bf enter depression.. know she is one of the cause.
The child.. stress... she's a child for God's sake.
The girl... what about the love?

Sacrifice is honourable and high-principled, but sometimes, instead of looking at what may seem the obvious act to carry out, remember that things arent always what they seem. Evaluate other circumstances, and open your eyes..
sometimes, sacrifices can be made doing other ways..
and remember.. really.. things do have a funny way of working out.

But remember, I am always here for you. and I do understand. As in, I cant feel exactly, but yes I do understand.

Do you want to be an eagle.. to soar and be free
Or do you want to be a someone's pet budgie.. trapped in a cage?
Why not be a nightingale, it flies free.. yet it can be tame.. and also bring the joy of song....
