The act of giving up ones own happiness for the sake of others who may or may not be worth it or appreciate it, often the latter. Those who are ignorant of true love and are selfish, often exhibit negative emotions such as jealousy, envy, revenge, hate, anger, resentment and cannot see the sacrifice/s one has made. Those who make sacrifices usually love intensely and unconditionally and are very forgiving. They seek to understand and are considerate of others first and will do everything to show those who might also be their worst enemies, that they love them no matter what and that they have forgiven them in the hope of maintaining a close relationship with them often sacrificing the happiness they shared with someone else by giving that person up and letting that person go. While commendable and admirable, sacrifice can lead to self destruction as one is neglecting him/herself causing inner conflict which can lead to trauma exhibited by confusing, strange, irritable, ill-tempered, rebellious behavior. Sacrifice does not work to change the mass, particularly those who are selfish and controlling. One should aim for balance and compromise in ones life and in their relationships and demand mutual respect always.
