Well, its been long friends. And I was caught up in various personal and professional commitments. The good thing is it has provided a lot of 'food for thought' to my head. And today let us talk about this beautiful term 'SACRIFICE'.
Sacrifice as defined in dictionary is slaughtering of animals for offering to God as noun or to give up something valuable for some other considerations as verb. So, what do you think? Giving up something valuable for some other considerations; is it a positive term? And that's exactly my food for thought today.
I am not against this term 'sacrifice' or something like that. I am just not able to feel the positive vibes in that word the way it is usually used in our day to day lives. I feel if you do something which you love and have an appetite for, then you would never say that I sacrificed this to do that may how hard the work may seem. The moment you use the term sacrifice, it feels you have just undermined the worth of everything that you have done. The simple reason is, when you hear the term sacrifice it means that you have done this work by giving up on something important which was valuable to you. Now, the simple question is why are you giving up something important just to do something else and telling that I sacrificed this for that? As a human being, I feel that the only answer to this question can be that the present work was much more important than the past work that you gave up. And if the answer written above is right, then you should not blabber that word 'sacrifice' because it is your choice and you were not forced to do it.
Thinking about all this, I feel 'sacrifice' is just a word used to imbibe an emotion and that emotion is the feeling of pity and compassion on the people whom you are saying. Its just a word to make the other people feel sorry for you.
Do you agree or you have some other thoughts on it?
