TO SACRIFICE IS TO REPLACE THE EXPENDABLE WITH THE USEFUL

Sacrifice derives from SACROFACERE that means maked it sacred. Sacred in the high sense, pure, important. In the opposite side there is the profane, which are the usual everyday actions lacking in significance.                                                                                                                                                     Do we perform more sacred or profane acts ? Observing the code of values and behavior we find the answer without difficulty. We would like spectacular experiences and conditions, and if they go in the opposite direction that´s why we proceed in the opposite way to achieve it. If prevails the ignorance and the unconsciousness to replace the prosaic with the refined, it is clear that we will be in the material density limited.                                                                                                                                                 Sacrifice  unlike the majority understood, it does not consist of wanting something but holding back, or do someone a favor forced by circumstances. As expressed  by the etymology of the word is change a context that does not bring benefits internally or externally by the other means, tools and occupations that allow increase the possibilities of development and improvement.                                                                          How many activities we carry out of habit thoughtlessly, without stopping to reflect on its convenience and usefulness ? And so one day and another to go nowhere nor extract any profit from it, with the fantasy that is pleasant, when the background is empty of content.                                                                            Focused basically on what we have and what we lack, in the own selfish desires, we pursue worldy goods  that come and go, that depend on third parties, while the splendor that we all long for never arrives because is not in the surrounding area. We have confused the means with the goal, and this is only an intermediary. Bound by olbligations due to the need to cover deficits, we don´t have time nor has the indispensable foundation been forged to perform sacred actions.We have to be content with subsisting as best we can. And crowded trying to extend a transitory presence, let´s leave aside the implicit purpose that has placed us here for something deeper than maintaining physical conditions.
