i think a lot of people have forgotten the meaning of sacrifice. People always say things like “do you know how much i gave up just to do thisthisthis or thatthatthat”, in order to gain acknowledgement of the magnitude of the task they have performed. They might have said it in anger, or disappointment, or when they just simply cannot hold it in any longer. I think true sacrifice comes in the form of silence, where people don’t go around expecting to be appreciated or complimented for what they have done. I think sacrifice is only pure when you don’t realize that it’s a sacrifice, but just something you volunteered to do out of the kindness of your soul.
I think parents are the greatest sacrificiers of all. They do not complain, they do not even realize how big a change they have to make in their lives just so they could give us one. I know i have never always been polite to my parents as i should have, and i haven’t shown them my appreciation for a long long time, and even though they probably will never read this blog post, i still dedicate it to them, because i want to tell the world that i have amazing parents, & that i love them so very much.
