thinking...overthinking....

Everyone is different. Some value education, some value themselves, some value money, and others value friends.

That would be my problem. I value friends. too much. way too much.
No, that isn't my problem, that is the root of my problem. My problem is that I expect friends to reciprocate what I do to them. Sacrifice then becomes something not that I do for others benefit, but rather for gain.

Is there a problem with this?

In fact, there is. To sacrifice is to give your all to others, regardless of how they react, and what they feel. So I need to check myself in the sense that when I sacrifice, I have to go in with a mentality that I am going to come out with nothing.
If I feel this way, I can't imagine what Jesus felt, or is feeling. He sacrificed His life for mankind, yet we constantly turn away.

Just thinking...
What does it all come down to?

Love.
