Does sacrifices against your will is worth doing for?

What is the meaning of sacrifice? Sacrifice means giving up something dear to you for the good of others.Even if it goes against your will if you do something that will benefit your parents, friends etc then you should do it because seeing the happiness on their face will bring you more joy rather than if you selfishly stuck to whatever you had and saw the displeasure on their face.When you do something with the spirit of sacrifice then you will blessed by the good wishes of those who benefitted and you will be repaid double of what you may have lost ,besides it will give you more happiness.

Hi jaiho, may be i am slightly different on this. I believe anything you do out of love cant be a sacrifice. I believe that sacrifice has an element of "could have done better for myself / it is not as per my wishes". Well, that causes resentment. If the sacrifice is too big, the person may harp many times over for years to come. In such situation both receiver as well as giver become unhappy, isn't it? So I dont believe in such sacrifices. But if it is a routine that can be overlooked and forgotten within a couple of days, by all means do it, but do it for love. Dont love or obey your parents because they did something for you or even because they offer 24 carat love to you. Love them because you just cant help loving them. That is my philosophy. :)

Hi jaiho, No dear, it won't. If we do some sacrifices it should be our own will. If we are doing something to make somebody happy, I don’t think there is any value. So the sacrifices should come from our heart. For e.g., in case of a relationship, if the boy/girl just sacrifice his/her love for parents, I don’t think it is worth because the person should feel guilty on the other in his/her whole life. So in my opinion sacrifices should do with our own will.

actually no. its my life and i control with it. i dont need to sacrifice my own happiness in favor of the others as they also have their own life and own happiness too. each one of us have our own life and it will depends to us only if we believe on ourselves. you can choose an alternate instead of sacrificing oneself. like me, my parents want me to marry a particular guy only bcoz they are one of our family's close friends and that they are rich and if i refused it might going to ruin the friendship of both family. i dont love the guy and if i choose to marry him it will going to be forever, physically his not attractive and his attitude is so bossy and love to dictate people. Then i talk to my mother heart to heart. as i know mothers knows best. I told her that i know they just want to see me in good lfe but i can find other guy who can also offer me good life and at the same time we both love each other. having a good life doesn't mean having a lot of money, cars and having everything you want. but having a good life is having both and be happy at the same time yet a life full of love. and that what will i do if i have a lot of money but im not happy is she will going to be happy too? if yes then shes not my mother coz she only think of herself. a good mother thinks of what her daughter can make her happy. and my mother accepted my explanation.

Hello1 I think that is the most pro-family,and I have to make any sacrifice that they are worth it.Of course,here are some tips,that is all words and deeds should be around the family harmony and well-being of the family to carry out .Bless you!

Yes if its for the good of the family why not we have different sacrifices made for our family's sake so if they really can benefit from what we sacrifice for better continue doing it than doing nothing & just be contented with what we have?

I had to work for my own family and so I had no choice but to go into a job I am not aware of. I had to stay there for 4 years without giving up because I knew it was for the better. Every time I feel like quitting I would tell my hubby and he would cheer me up. It was the hardest thing I had to do but look at me now I have gone thru other jobs I really wanted and that put a smile on my face. It made me so happy that I am still continuing my goal to pursue my other dreams for myself.

hello jaiho, I have done a lot of sacrifices almost my entire life, as the result I have become an incomplete person not knowing what i want or what i need in life. but so far i am beginning to pick up the pieces, and the only major problem now is how to retain and maintain my confidence despite of the problem going on my life and how to face. the best sacrifices that i did for my family is not to get married, thank god am not in-love yet

If you will ask me, i can honestly say that, i rather sacrifice my self so that i can make them happy, rather than following myself that will not do anything good at all. I am a man who is born from that principle. I can even sacrifice myself for other people for the sake of good, then why not for my family? I am a selfless man,i am not saying that i am good and perfect, but, all i can say is that, love ones is worth sacrificing for and worth dying for. Have a nice day.

When we love some We give them right to hurt ourself, either he/she belongs to our family or He/she is our girl/boyfriend, IT happen naturally whom we love many times we hurt ourself for the sake of their happiness,LOve gives s power to do all. When or love once seems happy, our pain atomaticaly turns into relief.

It solely depends on who is gaining what out of my sacrifice... we tend to put our family first... and if it is for their happiness, i would be more than happy to put my interests behind... but sometimes if i see that what they are saying is not good in the long run and would effect everyones future, i will definitely protest...
