Secret of a Sacrifice

A word glorified in todays world and yet grossly misunderstood . Leaders sacrificing thier families for the nation . A mother putting her child above everything else .
Not that generation present, does not know , how to sacrifice . Infact i believe there are more sacrifices done in todays world , as choices and options increase.
A mother's love is considered unparallel and generally assosciated with loads of sacrifices , so let me try make sense ,using her .She is making a pizza for her son , knowing that its her son's favourite .She dislikes making them and isnt too happy eating them as well .She misses her sanskrit classes/bhajan/tele-serial to make a pizza .If you ask her , she would say , "anything for my son's happiness".She definetley isnt lying .She does not expect the son to give her back money nor is she expecting another pizza in return .The son comes home from school ,starts munching the pizza.Mom sits and enjoys seeing him eat .The ultimate aim of the mother was to see happiness in the sons eyes or is it ?
Aim of the mother was to feel happy ,period .Its just that for her ,seeing happiness in her son, brought her most joy .You might ask , "how does that make a difference ?"
It does because there is a condition and an expectation .Incase the boy's reaction was negative , a mom with an expectation would feel very down , seeing all her toil and sacrifice at a loss .

Increasingly,the difference nowadys is that, we are driven to please people around, rather than please oneself .Sacrifices ,nowadays is to gain acceptance in the society, even if that means that it destroys ones own principles . Far too often , we hear husbands/wives saying that they have done so many sacrifices, for the sake of the other, little realizing it is ,not for the other , but for both of them collectively.
Having no expectations is probably impossible ,to realise the secret of a sacrifice however is probable .

Its never for You , its for Me , at the least ,for Us .

ladies and gentlemen

This particular blog is just my curiosity on the subject . Inspired to think of it , after reading one of my friend's blog .
Loads of things have been written on men and women .Thier differences, likes and dislikes .

Back in the school days , we used to have a PT period(Physical Training). All of us would be waiting for the bell to ring and experience 45 mins of non-stop excitement. In our case , it used to be football and i got to admit , was not very good at it . I guess girls looked forward to this 45 mins as well .But for some strange reason, they rarely put thier foot on the field or do anything remotely related to physical. Yes their were exceptions , and I found it easier to accept them as normal human beings . We were fortunate for our school to be in a middle of a forest and it suited girls ,who would sit under the trees and gossip ( am guessing) .
i found it quite hard to understand why ladies take so much time , to make themselves presentable .Got to give it to them for being so patient in this aspect . Maybe part of the blame is to do with guys . Maybe we cant stand looking at them , if they arent !!

Obviously there are many cons to men as well .But am in no mood to write about it . :)
