Sacrifice

The world is full of things to want, but a person can not have it all. There is not enough time in the day to chase all that the world has to offer. Some times a person may even have to let go of things that they deeply love in order to move forward, and that can be painful.

As time passes people become an accumulation of the choices that they have made in their lives. The things we choose today, become the threads of our memories that weave the fabric of our lives. When one sacrifices a thing in their life, or lets go of  something in order to have something else, there is something lost for something gained. This is the very nature of existence, because one lives, they are not dead, up is not down, black is not white. Sacrifice is not a bad thing, it is consciousness happening.

The consciousness in all of us wants to choose, it wants to make decisions that propel us forward through our lives, choice is life, the absence of choice is confinement, punishment, even death. Sacrifice is simply a part of choice, and a person will choose, therefore, a person will sacrifice. Do not fear sacrifice, but evaluate what is being given up and what is being gained. Always move towards that which is greater, that which builds upon the other, and steer clear of that which destroys, or removes choice.

In the world, all parts must be played, there must be the winner, and the looser, the tyrant and the liberator, the wolf and the sheep. This is the world we are making with our choices, sacrificing what could have been, for what is. Know your place in it all, and you will know sacrifice.
