This is my first rant, take it easy on me, but I just wanted to see what you guys thought of it because I have really been thinking about this myself for a while now.
Sacrifice. We all make sacrifices in our lives, but for what worth. We all think "Hey, I could sacrifice these few hours of game time of Guild Wars 2 to hang out with my friends." or something of the sort. But seriously, what is "sacrifice" what is worth sacrificing something for the other. Everyday we sacrifice things no matter what we do, we sacrifice our time doing either school or work in order to get money to put food on the table. We sacrifice relationships that drag us behind in order to further ourselves in life, we sacrifice one thing for another.
What value does something have to have in order for it to be worth the sacrifice of something else? Today's society lives in the now, and people today hate sacrificing the time of now for the time of the future. A lot of people I see nowadays, especially in my school, just say "Eh, screw these courses, I don't need them I'll just go to college." then when I speak to people who have went to college they regret taking the easy way out and not trying for higher. They said that if they went to university they would have opened more doors. What I believe sacrifice to be is the surrendering of something in order to gain something else of more value to the person.
What I ask of you is, what do you think of sacrifice and what have you sacrificed recently that has really impacted your life?
