  4. Sacrifice is the offering of food, objects or the lives of animals or people to God or the gods as an act of propitiation or worship.

    While sacrifice often implies ritual killing, the term offering can be used for bloodless sacrifices of cereal food or artifacts. For offerings of liquids by pouring, the term libation is used.
    Human sacrifice was practiced by many ancient cultures. People would be ritually killed in a manner that was supposed to please or appease a god or spirit. While not widely known, human sacrifices for religious reasons still exist today in a number of nations.
    The surrender or destruction of something prized or desirable for the sake of something considered as having a higher or more pressing claim.

  6. It really was the ultimate sacrifice. Her sanity- or what little was left of it- was now totally, and completely gone. And why? No, not for a boy. She wasn’t that niave. Well…all right. But he wasn’t just any boy…this time, she swore, it was real.

  8. It was all I could do to take care of myself. I realized I had to stop taking in all of these orphan animals. My friends at the SPCA called me selfish for it, but they didn’t realize how much I yearned for their company. It was only because my mother made me promise on her death bed that I would put my needs first, and because I couldn’t afford cat food for twenty cats and the rent on my apartment together…. Because of that, I knew I had to stop. No one realized how much I cried, having to be by myself every night. Everyone thought that my sacrificing days were over.

  9. sacrifice means many things. Jesus sacrificed so much on the cross. Love is sacrifice. Work is sacrifice. Many people don’t think that love is sacrifice but Jesus LOVES us and he sacrificed himself. Who would do that? He sacrificed himself. Stepped down from being GOD to show us the right way!

  10. There are many things you have to sacrifice to have a happy life. If you want others to be happy, yourself to be happy and god to be happy, sometimes you have to do things you just don’t wanna do. It’s a part of life. And I’m living.

  11. Everyone would define sacrifice differently. What is sacrifice? Is it those few seconds I lost by stopping for a pedestrian? Or the $1000 I lost in the stock market? Is is taking a risk or willingly giving something up? And what’s the end result? It begins with the motives, from there who knows where it will go. And dare we even talk about the ultimate sacrifice?

  12. I lift the knife above my head, staring mirthlessly down into their eyes. Their wide eyes, filled with raw fear. I don’t know why I’m doing this. I was told to. So I must. It is my destiny. I can’t hold back.
    I howl, and thrust downwards.

  14. I sacrificed my heart and happiness, just to hear your sweet nothings whispering in my ear. Yet, it was not enough for the likes of you nor could I keep up this façade I was the one for you. I hoped, I wished, I needed! You to surrender to me….. if only my sacrifice was enough.

  15. Let’s make a sacrifice

    to bring about
    a glorious daybreak

  17. we do it alot. sometimes its even a neccesity. but so often it seems tragic. we sacrifice things that we love and that we do, we sacrifice aspects of our lives and parts of ourselves and its easy to become resentful and unforgiving. but the thing is, that if done at the right times for the right reasons we may find ourselves with a new-found sense of belonging and pride. sometimes we need a little sacrifice like we need to clean out the closet, though we too may feel ache over freeing ourselves from what we’ve kept in there.

  18. It really wasn’t ever a sacrifice for him. Not really. He cared about her, and she needed his help and that was more than enough to make it work. He’d do it again a thousand times as long as she ended up safely back again. Nothing mattered past that.

  23. It isn’t the most popular thing to do now days: sacrifice that is. This world used to be made of knights in shining armor but now, we only have men in grimy green uniforms giving their lives, they blend in with the dirt and there are so few of these heroic people, that sacrifice and fighting and believing in something better are all just going out of style. How sick is that?

  24. crosses all over heavy on shoulders, I told you of collarbones and the delight of a naked neck. this is another type of sacrifice. a giving up of nuggets of truth. I told you and listened and laughed.

  25. From cultural differences to emotional differences, sacrifice means a lot to each individual person. I, myself, have sacrificed friends and family for personal gain while other sacrifice personal gain for friends and family. It is one of the biggest variables in what makes people unique from one other; the door to morals and values.

  30. I knew what I was going into when I said I do to you. You held my hand, looked me in the eye, and with an unshakable force you strongly proclaimed, “I do.” I echoed your words, knowing full-well that I didn’t mean them.

    That day, I gained absolutely everything I could have ever wanted—my heart, and my freedom, were my only sacrifices.

  31. love, emotion, self discipline, self-love, don’t sacrifice for someone that’s not yourself. I’ll keep in mind that. You can help, but not sacrifice.

  36. to give up for something you believe in. to place the interests and needs of others beyond your own. It takes great courage to make a sacrifice, but so much more to be the person who must deal with having someone care so much about you they would commit a sacrifice.

  37. I don’t know what to say I’m tired I’m bored and I’m hungover. I just want to sleep but I can’t because I feel like I didn’t do anything productive in the last couple of hours. I want to be able to sleep knowing I did something with my life today, which I did, but I mean in the last couple of hours. I’m bored out of my mind but I don’t feel like doing shit. I wish I had a hobby or something to keep me excited about doing something
