The concept of sacrifice. It's something I often think about ... do you believe that there is a mechanism in this universe for which there is a price for everything?
Sometimes it seems to me that to have access to certain things you must first have made a sacrifice, which can be of any kind.
I remember some time ago hearing an anecdote from Terence McKenna where he said that before a trip he deliberately broke his glasses. He said he had paid for his ticket with that action.
Or even the classic concept of "do good and good will come back to you". Maybe there really is some mechanism in this life that regulates this?
You make the sacrifice of using your time, your energy for the good of someone else, and somehow you unlock a mechanism by which that "good" will then come back to you. (Obviously good is an abstract concept, but we can also interpret it as "what you want". What you want for yourself is what in fact is good).
Obviously sacrifice and "do the right thing" are different concepts, but I put them together because they are still connected in my opinion.
I am curious to hear some opinions on this![Smile :) :)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
