Of Sacrifice

Let’s talk about sacrifice.

In my own words, it’s giving away something you love to make something else works out. Or to make something else into a better condition than they're currently in.

And it has to be something you REALLY love or need, otherwise it wouldn’t be called sacrifice, would it?

But, imagine if you have one last bread for the day. And you are hungry. But you see someone looks hungrier than you are. Then you give up your last slice of bread because you think that someone needs it more. But ironically, you found out later that she/he doesn't even eat the bread simply because she/he doesn't like bread.

It's such a bummer to see that what we’ve sacrificed for, actually is not beneficial at all because the people receiving it actually has no intention of making use of it. 

It feels like we let go of something that we need - for nothing.

But I guess, at the end of the day, what others do with it, is no longer our concern. It’s not up to us anymore. We've done our part. And that's it. Don't feel bad for trying to be the kind.
