Self-sacrifice n. ego sacrifice; selflessness
Not Suicide
Self-Sacrifice is more than the kindness often associated with acts of goodwill and compassion. It goes a step further putting others' needs above one's own, even if it involves personal sacrifice. It can also be willingness, in the interest of cooperation, in loving patience, to let the other party have their way for now. It's a step, along the way, to becoming a blessing to everyone and everything. Cooperation is the first chapter in the Edgar Cacye's Search for God Book right after Meditation.
Self-sacrifice is one of the Fruits of the Spirit and directly related to many of The Universal Laws beyond fulfilling the basic biological Laws of Self; Physical Preservation and Perpetuation of Self via Procreation. The needs of Ubiquity outweigh the needs of the few or the one.
Positive Nouns that Describe People
To give one's all, a noble deed,
A soul fulfills another's need.
Through sacrifice, love's light is shown,
And in its warmth, true worth is known.
A flame burns away,
The self, for others' brightness—
Love's eternal glow.
