"That every person is desirous to obtain, with as little sacrifice as possible, as much as possible of the articles of wealth."

Sacrifice, Wealth

"Sometimes, oftentimes, people hold on to someone they love for self " because it's what they want; in rare cases, a person, who sincerely knows the meaning of love, which is sacrifice, loves enough to say goodbye and to walk away. They do it because they love someone enough to allow them to move on without them or to not be torn in multiple directions, which causes confusion, or because they feel that is their only choice.Loving like that is doing for another and denying self. It is sacrifice.It takes tremendous strength and the cost is loss and heart-ache but it's a price the rare are willing to pay because they truly love that much."
