“Sacrifice” does not mean the rejection of the worthless, but of the precious.“Sacrifice” does not mean the rejection of the evil for the sake of the good,but of the good for the sake of the evil. “Sacrifice” is the surrender of thatwhich you value in favor of that which you don’t.
If you exchange a penny for a dollar, it is not a sacrifice; if you exchangea dollar for a penny, it is. If you achieve the career you wanted, afteryears of struggle, it is not a sacrifice; if you then renounce it for thesake of a rival, it is. If you own a bottle of milk and give it to yourstarving child, it is not a sacrifice; if you give it to your neighbor’schild and let your own die, it is.
