“Love sacrifices all things to bless the thing it loves.”
Edward Bulwer-Lytton, 1st Baron Lytton
Love: the source of life, the purpose of life, and the sustainer of life is the most important and most powerful force in the world. It is a virtue that supercedes and gives strength to all other virtues. Love is the only thing that you give to others that can never be lost, wasted, or even die. Love is the best thing anyone can give or receive in life, without love life will be like a journey through the wilderness without light, without a map, without a companion.
Love is not possible without sacrifice. Someone who cannot sacrifice something for the greater good of others cannot love. Love does not seek to please itself at all times, it does not consider only what is good for itself, but what is good for all, it sacrifices itself for the good of others. As Joseph Campbell would say, "When you make the sacrifice in marriage (any mutual relationship), you are sacrificing not to each other but to unity in a relationship." Any relationship that is built on sacrificial love is a relationship that will thrive and last long.
Parents sacrifice a lot to ensure their children get the best of everything they need to become whatever they want to become in life; parties in a relationship sacrifice so much in their time, character, attitude, and tolerance to keep the relationship intact for the good of everyone; a seed is sacrificed to get a tree full of fruits. Sacrifice is the foundation and the basis of all growth and great achievements. Sacrifice is the reason the whole world celebrates a day like this, it is a day in which love is shared and the sacrifice of the Creator is being appreciated by all creatures.
If we would achieve anything great in our world, if we would grow beyond the usual we must be ready to sacrifice greatly. As Napoleon Hill once said, "Great achievement is usually born of great sacrifice, and is never the result of selfishness." Selfishness never birth anything great, the highest result that can be achieved through selfishness is just one pocket full of substance that will fade away in no time, but great sacrifice will always produce great achievements that will benefit many beyond the expectation of even the ones who have made the sacrifice. Love sacrifices everything and blesses everything it loves.
