A little story told to me just last night by from friend CD Bear.
Look up his threads if you care to.
You are standing on one side of the street
Your W and child have started to cross the street
You see a bus coming that they do not see
What do you do?
1) Nothing-and they are killed 2) Try and save them but there isn't time to save all of you and you all die 3) Shove them out of the path of the bus and you are killed
Sacrifice yourself for the sake of others?
What a selfless thing to do right?
Sacrifice.
Selfless?
Think about it.
It was SELFISH to do the last thing.
Why?
Because you are aware of everything and know who you are.
That person knows that there is no other choice because to choose something different
To watch your family die while standing on the curb
To know in the instant that you can't save them any other way than to push them out of harms way.
There is no other choice for YOU.
My point?
When you understand what love means to you it is not a sacrifice living it.
Love gives away.
It does not measure itself by pain and sacrifice.
It is not defined by sacrifice
Cat said it beautifully.
It is part of you and always stays with you.
I am a cute little baby bunny this morning.
My goal is to some day be the person my dog thinks I am
