On Meanings & Sacrifices: Inspired by The Five People You Meet in Heaven
Sacrifice, as we know it, is a trade we make to attain something better, a hope for growth, a symbolic representation that one day, our bigger dreams will emanate from the mountaintop top, and the altitude represents a sign that we've made it, life, happened. But what if that's not what sacrifice is at all? What if it is deeper, more meaningful, and transcendental than we perceive? What if, in sacrificing, we have already answered a higher call? Not with the expectation of a grander life afterward but the soothing reality of how transformative we've made life for the existence of others.
