Re: Sacrifice

Quote:

Why is personal sacrifice viewed by society as a good thing? The giving of something one values greatly for something not valued as highly seems like the undermining of one's integrity to me.




because it confirms your ties to society, that you are inside it instead of being an outsider. by sacrificing you are investing in society, thus you wouldn't want to change/destroy it because you've given to it so much. i think. did i miss the point completely?
