The Craziness of Sacrificing
Fancy the situation: a young women falls in love with the foreign partner of the company where she works. She is a customer relations manager there, he is a customer with who she managed to establish relations especially successfully... The feeling is mutual, they are people who truly love each other.
The woman's foreign lover proposes to her and asks her to move to another country with him. What does it mean to him? It means that he brings home beautiful young wife. What does it mean to her? To her it means that she has to sacrifice so many things if she wants her love to stand the test, that she seriously thinks over the question. She has to sacrifice her family's opinion (family is strongly against her decision to leave with some strange foreigner), sacrifice her stable profession and professional success at an international company where she works, sacrifice her plans for the future where she scarcely found herself living in another – way too faraway – country... As you can see, the amount of sacrifices is huge. It's not that she won't go for it for the sake of her love, it's just that going for it may seem totally crazy for some people.
Definitely, sacrificing for love is crazy in most cases. Why – because it suggests that a person experiences a strong shock and stress from changing his or her life completely and fitting it into the frames of another person's life. The outcomes of these situations can be different – either tragic or normal.
