Would you sacrifice everything for your family's sake?

That included love life, social life, career etc. How hard it is to be torn between two boulders of rocks?

hi jabrica, i would sacrifice everything for my family. in my mind, money can be earned with our own effort, power can get if you need. but love is the most important to me, we can not live without love. and the purest love is the love among families. if i have to sacrifice for my family, i will do. but i do not think that happen to one day i have to sacrifice.:)

I am a family-oriented person, my culture proves it; like we go have a family day/reunion every once in a while etc. I have a lot of foreign friends who don't feel the way. But, despite of cultural indifferences I still believe that sacrifice and love are two universal terms.

Hi jabrica. Well, of course i done everything I can to pay back their love and care for me. All of children should remember their parents and put them in their heart. Bring them along everywhere they go so that they will not forget their parents. By the way, welcome to mylot communites. Regards. kunizzul

Hello kunizzul. Great! I believe that you're a good son to your parents or a good brother to your siblings. Keep it up!

I would and have sacrificed SOME things for my family BUT I would never sacrifice EVERYTHING and become a martyr for them... Just like I would never expect, demand or want that from them....but sacrificing something particularly when you become a parent is a must IMO

This is a good discussion and I am sure that everyone has different views when it comes to family and how important they are,and what they would do for their family,or what they would give up,and when it comes to me I think family is the most important thing in the world,and I would give up everything for my wife,and for our kids when we have kids because I would rather have family then anything else,and a social life,a career,anu other things like that are not worth a thing if you do not have family to share them with,and I know my wife agrees with me,just like a lot of others probably do as well,have a great day,good luck with your life,and all of your mylotting goals,and Happy Posting.

Hi jabfrica, I love my family it's obvious, I provide them what they need but of course it will not go beyond my means. I also have my own life and own family that I don't want to suffer just to provide them with everything they want. For me, everything should have a limit and line should be drawn between needs and wants so as not to feel being abused. Good Day!

In my opinion i would say yes i can sacrifice everything for the sake of my family...i know for the fact that most filipinos are very family oriented people maybe because of culture and some other reason.but in my case although i wasn't lucky to have a complete family because my mom and dad got separated early.still the closeness that we have are very strong maybe also because of the situation that we have and we really have respect for each one of us.that's why when i started to work i never thought anythingelse first for myself if my family won't benefit from it.as much as possible i want to give them all the best thing that will make them happy and comfortable.cause it really gives me so much happiness in my heart when i see them happy.i really love taking care of them that sometimes when it comes to lovelife as much as possible i wanna make sure that whoever that guy he must love my family first before me.cause i feel like when he do that it means that he has truly good intention to me.so i think there's nothing wrong when u do sacrifices cause it means love.and that love is the great feeling that god wants everyone of us to have...

I don't sacrifice everything for the sake of my family. I am an indivdual person and I have to satisfy my needs. I can sacrifice some things for my family. I am not ready to sacrifice my career or my personal interests for the sake of my family. Also, I don't compell or force anybody to sacrifice their personal interests or desires for me. It will be sad if I come to know that somebody has sacrificed soemthing for me.
