Sacrifice

Sacrificing yourself to accommodate others is not necessary a good thing for oneself or for the others. I believe that sacrificing yourself for the other one is the death sentence for the relationship between two people. In most cases, between husband and wife, the wife somehow justifies the act of pleasing the husband by sacrificing her own personality, her own likes, her own dreams and many others. Many tend to spend most of the time and energy on taking care of husband's needs, children's needs, and being really not generous to herself. The end result of that usually is that husband keep on pursuing his dream, his interests, and two who started from the same place slowly walk different paths. The marriage can turn dull, cold, and unfulfilled for both parties. The husband might think that his wife's body and soul has disintegrated, and the wife might think the husband is being selfish. While from the beginning, making sacrifices was already the mistake. That is only a easy way out of the challenges. The fear to face the unknown, the not wanting to take responsibility for your own action. Sacrificing seem to be a noble and caring action, in reality, you are just letting the other party decide what you should be doing, so later on, if things don't go well, you don't have to take the consequences. One should be nice to oneself, and also be responsible for his or her own decision and choices. Be fearless!
