Journal Entry 7: Taking Risks

For the people we care about most, we would sacrifice many things to see them happy. Throughout my lifetime, people who have cared about me have made many sacrifices. For example, my friends sacrifice a lot of time to do things with me even though they may not like doing them. Also, they give up time, thought, and emotion on making me feel better when I am in a bad mood. Similarly, I have made many sacrifices for the people in my life who I care about. I make simple, small sacrifices, like paying for friends when they want something but did not bring money, as well as larger ones, like giving up time, and opportunities for them. For people we truly love, we will care more about their happiness than our own, so to see them happy, we would sacrifice anything. For example a mother would go through anything, even die for her child, as would a guy for a girl he is in love with. Sacrifices are, simply put. just something we do as a way of showing others how much we care about them.
