How do you define sacrifice?

With great love there is great faith; and with great faith, there should be great hopes.

What comes along with success?

Isn't it the challenges?

Failures? or pains? How about trial and error and the circumstances?

These were a few questions that made me puzzled for long months ago.

Human is human not because he speaks but because he encouraged

Not because he sees

But because he perceived

Not because he hears

But because he listened

Not because he walks

But because he has moved

Not because he grows but because he has developed

Not because he is alive

But because he believed.

Sometimes what you believe is not the same with others;

What you feel is not exactly the same as to what through others.

What you think is right

Subsist to others

What you think is okay

Is too fine for others

Well, I am telling you that many times I have proven to my self that things always come with different perspectives

Just like when to consider a sacrifice and when it is not.

Do you think sleeping late with extended length of hours just to attend other's needs is a sacrifice?

What if that act is expected for you to function? Is it fair enough to claim as a sacrifice?

Or you were just too over thinking and over reacting?

I know at some point of your life you feel tired and disgusted but if you know your roles and obligations you wont be having claims that you have sacrificed a lot.

Because sacrifice is not easy and will not be easy.

Its like  a diabetic to swallow a sugar

Or the beast falling in love with a princess.

Sacrifice is just a 9 letter word but with multiple definition.

Sacrifice is like a double edged sword.

You choose whether to offer up or give up

It is like saying Yes I can  even if the fact is you know nothing.

It is like saying it's okay even it is not.

It is like a bubble that flares in the ocean of fire.

Its clueless

Its complicated

But it is worthwhile to someone very dear and to somebody you love.

People may do not understand until the clock points its arms on their feet.
