Sacrifices

“If I could sacrifice something for you, would you do the same?”

Most people are unfair. They always want what is best for them and do not care what others would feel. Maybe that is why martyrs and heroes were born - to sacrifice themselves for the benefit of others.

In the context of a relationship, sacrifices come in different forms. It may be a simple sacrifice of time, money or a major sacrifice such life. Either way, it means giving something up and stepping out of your comfort zone for the person that you love. It sucks but it has to be that way.

It feels good to know that someone is willing to sacrifice something for you. It gives you the feeling that you are being loved to the highest extent. On the other hand, even if this person that sacrificed a lot for you did not ask for anything in return, you just have to be kind and repay it one way or another. Being in a relationship is a two-way process. If you can’t give love and can’t sacrifice something back, then what is the point of continuing the relationship? Ever heard of the phrase, ‘give and take’? Yes. give and take is something that you have to learn especially if you are in a relationship.
That being said, I hope that you guys learn to make simple sacrifices. Start from scratch and try doing it, you will realize that it is not that hard to be a hero or a martyr. Simple sacrifices such as waking up early will do.
