SACRIFICE
The online Cambridge Dictionary defines SACRIFICE as "to give up something that is valuable to you in order to help another person."
SACRIFICES are done all the time. We make SACRIFICES all the time. Some we OVERTLY decide to make and then there are others we subconsciously make.
However, there are individuals that claim they are making SACRIFICES while doing so ONLY make those "sacrifices" with the INTENTION of "EXPECTING" something in return.
If you believe this is why SACRIFICES are made then let me be the first to tell you: YOU ARE WRONG.
SACRIFICES are made WITHOUT any expectation of payback or in-kind gesture.
Let me make this clear: If you are doing something (anything) under the cloak of deception or with an expectation of re-payment then that is NOT A REAL SACRIFICE.
Plain and simple that is a BUSINESS TRANSACTION. There is no real SACRIFICE in a business transaction. You pay for something with the intention of getting something in return.
Think about this: What if your parent or parents raised you, fed you, sheltered you and clothed you for 18 years, then after that they started charging you for living at home and eating their food. THAT TO ME MAKES PERFECTLY GOOD SENSE. You're an adult now, so get on with it.
However, if on your 18th Birthday your parent(s) hand you a bill for all they did for you from the moment of your birth to your last day of being 17. THAT IS NONSENSICAL. That kind of parental behavior is B.S. They had the fun 18 years and 9 months ago and now they want payment for their actions from those 5 minutes up until now.
They created you and what kind of imbeciles create people only to charge them? That's right the dumb, ignorant, and stupid people are those imbeciles. There is something seriously wrong with the way they are wired and sadly NOTHING will change that or them.
Seriously, they can "claim" they sacrificed and now they want something in return. You can pay them back in silence. You did not ask them to create you and yet they want to bill you like an ungrateful tenant.
So make your own SACRIFICE. Give up something to better yourself, to help yourself. Because it is obvious they (and other like them) gave up on you so long ago.
As a reminder, here is the definition of SACRIFICE "to give up something that is valuable to you in order to help another person." That is it with absolutely no mention of expecting something in return. I know this may cut (and I truly hope it does) but as a hypocrite, you get what you deserve as you cannot have it both ways.
