What would you or have you sacrificed in the name of love?
They say God loved the world so much that he sacrificed his only son. That's what you do when you love so much. You sacrifice whatever you have that is precious to you. That is what we know as love. This thing that we have to sacrifice so much for.
People live their whole lives together for the sake of love. Mothers will kill for the love of a child. Some husbands will kill too, in the name of love. Some travel far and wide, searching for their true love. Some say they have searched in dark corners, others say they are like passing ships at night. Some say they can swim across oceans; others just try face book or Skype.
They say one becomes so happy when you have found it. All your worries disappear, because your missing half has been found. The owner of your heart or just the owner of the money on top of your head. It does not matter. They say when you are in love, you will be happy. All the time. Forever and ever.
In the name of love, wars have been fought. Love of man or love of God. It does not matter, something has to be sacrificed. We sacrifice money, time, our hearts, our souls, our careers, our family. It does not matter.
That is the only way we have been taught and we must communicate through the only way we know. Sacrifice.
How many of you saw The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, the Brad Pitt flick about the guy who ages backwards? The part that really got me was when Benjamin nobly abandoned his wife (played by the otherworldly Cate Blanchett) and child because he knew it would be too hard for them to watch him "grow" into a child and then an infant. It was a purely selfless act that I could relate to.
And real-life examples of romantic selflessness aren't hard to find--I know plenty of people who have moved across the country, quit their dream job or faked an orgasm in the name of love.
How much would you sacrifice for love?
Have you been in a state of desperation before that you were willing to give up anything just so you can have what you need or want? When you were in a bind how often have you said, “what I wouldn’t give for a…” But do we really mean it? Or better yet, would we ever mean it?
Say for instance one of your love one, your parent, husband, sibling, or your child, is terminally ill. You are propositioned that if you give your own life your love one will live a long, healthy, and happy life. Would you do it? I know I would for sure without a thought.
Of course it is very easy to ask and respond to hypothetical scenarios. But for some people, making difficult choices and personal sacrifices is the norm. Some give up their career to care for their children. Some sacrifice their social life to take care of an aging parent. Some leave their homeland so that they can provide a better future for their family. And some give their life for their country.
While a career and life is definitely more valuable than a horse, Shakespeare had illustrated that there’s no limit to what any of us will sacrifice just so we can have what we need. For King Richard, a horse, as trivial as it may seem, is what he needed at that moment and therefore his kingdom is a fitting price to pay because without the horse, his approaching enemies will certainly make sure that he will lose his kingdom.
So in desperation or out of necessity, trivial objects like a horse or a can opener can be a life saver. If these inconsequential things can be that important at any given situation, we should then be mindful of the context of each other’s choices and sacrifices before we pass judgment.
Like Shakespeare, I believe that there’s no limit to what we would sacrifice in order to attain what we desperately need.
There is no compromise in love, there is only sacrifice. While others may say that mutual sacrifice is equivalent to a compromise, that's not without realising that for two lives to come together, some things that make us the individuals we are, have to go. To throw away the things that make up some part of ourselves for something more, that itself is a sacrifice.
Yet that is the inherent nature of it all. Sacrifice is a part of a relationship we cannot do without. Far too few people understand that for relationships are not about satisfying the need of a single person anymore. We often echo in our failed love "what have they done for me?", a testament to a selfishness that shatters a relationship.
Far too few people still, are willing to put their wants aside to do what needs to be done for a future to be built for two. Too often do we take the easy way out to avoid the coming hardship, believing that it's always for the better, never realising it's just convenient for ourselves, never for the other, never for one another. It's a mistake we always make in the hopes that something good will come out of it, but it never does, our desires for the moment blinding us to the heartbreak to come.
So we make that sacrifice. I am where I am. She does what she would do. Each of us stepping outside our comfort zones to an unknown we have to face, ourselves, for the sake of one another. While there was a time when fear would stop us from taking those steps, that time is no more. Even if that fear is still there, even if that journey lies buried in hardship, we will make those sacrifices. For her to never stop smiling. For me to reach for the endless sky.
There is no more compromise. There is only what we're willing to give up for a future we are willing to see happen. After all, such is love. A knife's edge of enduring pain and eternal bliss
From my personal experience....I was in love with my ex, Melissa so much that when we broke up and she began seeking a guy....I was still with her. I let her have me and him. That is love. When you love someone REALLY LOVE AND NOT TALK..which people say all the time ...YOU GIVE THEM WHAT THE WANT. THERE WANTS IS YOUR WANTS.
You can say you love someone, but to me it mostly words. A lot of woman have said they loved me, but never really sacrifice anything for me. They wouldn't give me what I want....what if i wanted a threesome? or golden shower? or sharing them? or even letting me have two relationship at the same time? Most of the time..there is answer is .NO or.."That I am crazy". I am not crazy.
There would be so many times I am on the phone and I wanted to cum and the woman on the other side of phone would be talking about other stuff. I wanted to get off and they wouldn't help me...is that love? I don't know.
If you really want to see if someone really love you...don't watch there words..watch their actions. If they really love me like they said they do..the would let me have what I want...whatever it might be....
-threesome
-golden shower
-brown shower
-culkold
-being in two relationship
It's all about tolerance......
If we are deeply committed to a certain value, how can we be tolerant of a behavior expressing an opposing value?
Can we speak about tolerance in love? Tolerance is a type of compromise in which we accept something that has a certain negative aspect in order to preserve something of greater value.
Can lovers be genuinely tolerant concerning more major issues?
We are likely to sacrifice our significant values and resources only for those with whom we have strong emotional ties. The greater the sacrifice is, the more emotional involvement is needed. So you have to wonder...if someone say they love you....is it all words or do they mean it. We readily make significant personal sacrifices toward our intimates not because we believe in the equality of all human beings-such a belief is sufficient merely for intellectual tolerance-but because we love them very much. For those near and dear to us tolerance is not something required of us; it is an attitude we want to have, and we are emotionally convinced of its value.
In profound love even those aspects that may appear to be negative are not perceived to be significant and often not even negative. Doing something for the beloved, such as going on a trip with her to a place of her choice or listening to her favorite music with her, has nothing to do with tolerance or compromises-it is precisely what the lover wants to do.
