SACRIFICES

Would the world be a better place if people made sacrifices for the greater good. And if so, would the world be a sadder place because of those sacrifices made? I have always questioned that because it like a catch 22. Well, it actually is a catch 22. If everyone thought of everyone else then maybe people wouldn't have time to think about themselves therefore they would posses no selfish tendencies. Or quite possibly they have selfish tendencies but do exhibit such qualities because they understand the need for sacrifices. But doesn't the underlying meaning of sacrifice mean that you are in fact losing something rather than gaining. That sucks. No one likes to lose anything, which is why I believe that very few people think of others. The poor people who do think of others are constantly taking advantage of or feel as if they are at a loss.

But one thing to remember is that all good things come in due time, and as long as your heart is in the right place you will find the happiness you deserve. I guess that's called standing on faith. Most people cannot find happiness in that and I myself struggle to understand. But the overall understanding that I have is that without faith life would have no purpose.
