Self-Sacrifice is the act of sacrificing oneself in favour of someone else.
It is putting someone else’s wellbeing before one’s own.
Sacrificing one’s Self is never in alignment with one’s Soul.
My Soul’s choice for my Self is to discover, explore and experience Life, not sacrifice it for another.
The only reason for self-sacrifice is to allow another to experience the guilt that results as a consequence of this action.
In my experience, few people need my help in order to experience guilt.
Self-sacrifice is usually linked to attachment.
It is very unlikely that anyone would sacrifice their self for another to whom they were not emotionally attached.
The deeper the emotional attachment to another the greater the sacrifice that the ego self is willing to make.
Some people’s attachment to another is so great that they would rather die themselves than risk the loss of the one that they depend on so much emotionally.
With the attainment of sensitive-detachment, self-sacrifice becomes unthinkable.
