Is true love about sacrifice?

Do you really think that true love is about sacrifice? How easy is to give someone true love then? I sometimes think it is not so simple due to normal human attributes such as jealousy, selfishness etc. What do you think?

I have a different perspective when it comes to LOVE. I feel, we do compromise when and if we cannot get our love. That means, sacrifice is just a compulsion. What else can you do! If you have the chance to be with your love and do not for self less reasons from both the sides then it means something. But why should anyone do that! When we have to sacrifice someone we love its because we could not have him/her!

I see what your point is. But what about when people are involved in a relationship and are constantly having to make sacrifices for one another? How long do you think someone can do that and would they be more able if their love is 'true'?

A Good point there! I believ in doing it for MY SAKE which is not a compromise. When it gets to the point of sacrifice, I am being holding myself up. An air of superiority is there. But when I do it just because I love that person. It just as much as doing it for myself, then I guess it works. Why do we have to sacrifice! Is there LESS love that we weight our doings!

Though it is not easy to make sacrifice but to love truely is to make sacrifice for your love once even when they are not your live partner; so long you love them, you can make sacrifice to them, ok.

Well,I think it is really a good way to show your true love,it is also a dangerous way to break your fantacy of true love.If one sacrifice something important for his lover,it doesnot mean he really loves her so much but his love absolutely think so;and if one don't sacrifice,it doesn't mean he don't love her but his lover may think so.So that is a dilemma.Everyone has his own selfishness more or less,we cannot judge one's emotion or love just by how much he has sacrificed?We should love by heart and learn to forgive and understand when he don't sacrifice.After all,there are many other ways of express love.That's my view.
