Thinking About Sacrifice




I have fallen short in regards to the quality of my sacrifices in the past.   

To sacrifice is to give up what one has or enjoys, in the here and now, for something better in the future.

I have not acted this way. 

I have been the writer of my own tale of woe and needless misery.

But, all humans fall short, and some more than others.

Maybe, it is the ones who fall short the most, that eventually wake up and start setting their house in order.

It is obvious now.  

Feeble, half-hearted, sacrifices do not please the Gods, or the divine forces that underpin the world. 

Thankfully, one is not defined forever by the bungled sacrifices of the past. 

It is not the offerings we have made.

It is the offerings we are yet to make, that will inevitably define us.
