Lakeside90: "A very poor man lived with his wife. One day, his
wife, who had long hair asked him to buy her a comb
for her hair to grow well. The man felt very sorry and
said no. he does not even have enough money to fix
the strap of his watch he had just broken. She did not
insist on her request. The man went to work and passed by a watch shop, sold his damaged watch at
a low price and went to buy a comb for his wife. He
came home in the evening with the comb in his hand
ready to give to his wife. He was surprised when he
saw his wife with a very short hair cut. She had sold
her hair to a Brazilian manufacturer and was holding a new watchband. Tears flowed simultaneously from
their eyes. not for the futility of their actions, but for
the reciprocity of their love''

Lakeside90: How much can we sacrifice for spouse??
That is a sweet story but it is about just material things.
If I had a spouse and loved him, I would give my life for him.
On second thoughts, maybe not!
I will buy him a new watch.
(That was in jest before people shoot me)

Most people reading this would know that this is just a form of an O Henry story called "The Gift of the Magi". wife, who had long hair asked him to buy her a comb

As much as we want to in a way that brings meaning and peace, no matter how others may judge your sacrifice. Only you know. When the sacrifice is judged as not worthy and disempowering by the individual, then that is when the person knows the limits. There is no empirical list for the all...

Rohan! Just wanted to say hi! Cool to see you and hope you're doing great. Did you have an opinion on sacrifice, btw? I'd be interested to hear it

None of my own at the present, but I like what my fave 60's singer said in a song:"Love is supposed to be that special kind of thing,
makes anyone WANT to sacrifice..." Janis Joplin

there isn't much i wouldn't surrender for love.
sacrificing something in exchange for
for what i consider more valuable seems like a winning
proposition to me.
but i would have to believe it was really love, not some
masquerade party..lol.

The lady's hair will grow back so she can use the comb. It looks like it works out better for her in the end. Unless she dies. Then he can give the comb to another girl. Then He wins.
I would sacrifice a whole goat for a good spouse.

I have never liked the word sacrifice. The word sacrifice for me has the flavour of attached expectations.
If someone chooses to do or not do something for another person and that action is born out of love, it´s a loving gift, never a sacrifice.
