Sacrifice...

[BrotherIron]

Why do we sacrifice?...


The truth is sacrifices regularly go unanswered. No matter how much is given, the answer is often.... silence.


If sacrifices don't bring us what we want... why do we keep making them? Maybe the answer lies in the word itself. Sacrifice comes from 2 Latin words; "sacra" and "facere" which mean to make holy. What is offered up in a sacrifice, even an unanswered one, is not lost.... it's made holy.


We may not change the future with our sacrifices, but we always change... ourselves...

To sacrifice is not to get what we want but more of an attempt to get what we want. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't but the latter typically doesn't seem to deter me.

For me it's... it's about what the sacrifice is for... Is it for me or someone else...in there lies the difference...I have and will fail myself...but other..not so much...how much will you bleed??

I’ve had periods in my life where I made the sacrifice. My issue is that I’ve been a bitch and haven’t made long term and consistent sacrifice
