Intro:

“Sacrifice is a part of life. It’s supposed to be. It’s not something to regret. It’s something to aspire to.” — Mitch Albom

We had written in one of our recent poem that “Though you wish to take, I cannot give it to you; Though I wish to give, you cannot take a few” yes it is so true and this was written in the context that when it comes to our loved ones (family/friends/siblings etc.) we usually feel to be there for them in all their good/bad times and we’d be ready to feel for them and step into their shoes in their difficult times. You can read that entire poem here.

Although it is not practically possible; we tend to be with them supporting and doing all that we can do. In some cases, we have a habit of doing a ‘sacrifice’. Sacrificing our happiness for the sake of others will not make much changes to their life but makes us feel that it is a kind of support we give and we’re ok with it.

If sacrificing a bit of our happiness is resulting as something good for others or for you a feeling of ‘Yes I was there to help without being selfish’, then you shouldn’t have any regrets on it. Though this topic of ‘sacrifice’ has both pros and cons we sometimes forget everything and just be ready to sacrifice our happiness, postpone our happy moments, ignore the present own life and YES we all have done this at least once in our life.
Here is the poem describing a situation of sacrificing and this also reminds you to be there in all the situations with your loved ones ALWAYS!

“ಆಸೆಗಳ ಕೂಡಿಟ್ಟಿರುವೆ,
ನಿನ್ನ ನಿರಾಸೆಯೆ ಕಣ್ಮುಂದಿರಲು,
ನಗುವೆ ಹೇಗೆ ನೀನು,
ನಿನ್ನೊಳಗೆ ಮೌನವೆ ತುಂಬಿರಲು;

ನಿನ್ನ ಮೌನದಲೂ ನಾ ಆಲಿಸಬಲ್ಲೆ,
ನೀನಾಡದ ಮಾತುಗಳ,
ನಿನ್ನ ಮೌನದಲೂ ನಾ ಆಲಿಸಬಲ್ಲೆ,
ನೀನಾಡದ ಮಾತುಗಳ,
ಸೋತರೆಕೆ ಎಲ್ಲರು,
ಅರಿಯಲು ನಿನ್ನ ಮಾನದ ಆಳ;

ಒಡೆದಿರಲು ನಿನ್ನ ಆಸೆಗಳ ಕನ್ನಡಿ,
ಕಾಣದಾಗಿದೆ ನಿನ್ನ ಆಕಾಂಕ್ಷಿಗಳು ಅದರಲಿ,
ನಿರ್ಲಕ್ಷಿಸಿರಲು ಎಲ್ಲರು
ನಿನ್ನ ಭಾವನೆಯ ನುಡಿ,
ಮುರಿಯದೆಕೆ ನಿನ್ನ ಮೌನವು,
ಇದನ್ನೆಲ್ಲಾ ನೋಡಿ,
ಹೇಳು,
ಈ ಮೌನದಿ ಹೇಗೆ ಬರೆಯುವೆ ನಿನ್ನ
ಹೊಸ ಜೀವನದ ಮುನ್ನುಡಿ?
ಈ ಮೌನದಿ ಹೇಗೆ ಬರೆಯುವೆ ನಿನ್ನ
ಹೊಸ ಜೀವನದ ಮುನ್ನುಡಿ?

ಆಸೆಗಳ ಕೂಡಿಟ್ಟಿರುವೆ,
ನಿನ್ನ ನಿರಾಸೆಯೆ ಕಣ್ಮುಂದಿರಲು.
ಖುಷಿಯನ್ನೆ ನಾ ಬಚ್ಚಿಟ್ಟಿರುವೆ,
ಮೊದಲು ನಿನ್ನ ಸಂತೋಷವನು ನಾ ಕಾಣಲು;
ನಿನ್ನ ಸುಖ ದುಃಖಗಳಲಿ
ಇರಲಿ ನನಗೂ ಪಾಲು,
ಜೊತೆಯಿರುವೆ ಕೊನೆಯವರೆಗೂ,
ನಿನ್ನ ಸ್ನೇಹವಿರಲಿ ನನಗೇ ಮೀಸಲು;
ಜೊತೆಯಿರುವೆ ಕೊನೆಯವರೆಗೂ,
ನಿನ್ನ ಸ್ನೇಹವಿರಲಿ ನನಗೇ ಮೀಸಲು;”
