Question: What part of yourself would you be willing to sacrifice just to prove you're nobler that those around you!?
Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
I don't know!.

To know what I have to give up before hand is some what premeditated!.

Unless !.!.!.!. we are talking about externals: AM I willing to ride a bike rather than drive my car, sometimes !.!.!.!. I live about 10 miles away from any store in the boondocks!. But I am trying to make sure I have a complete list of what I need when I go into town so I am not driving those ten miles to go pick up lettuce, milk, salt etc!.

Am I willing to go out everyday and water my garden, pick off bugs and what not, yes !.!.!.!. I am trying!.

Am I willing to give up the toxic house hold cleaners!? I wasn't until I found some that actually worked!. That took about 3 years!.

Am I willing to pay for my children to go to private school, even if it means I have to clean the school to pay for it!. So that they could get a better education: Yes!.

Am I willing to sacrifice my time with my family to go out to community events and weigh in on what and how I think our community should be !.!.!.!. sadly no!.

Do any of prove that I am trying to be more noble than others!?

I don't know!.

Trying to prove it defeats the purpose of being noble!.

The key word here is BE!. Noble doesn't stem from an external action, it is from an internal being!.

Nothing would be worthy of sacrifice for the sake of proving anything to anyone!. It totally diminishes the concept of sincere sacrifice with the ulterior agenda!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Nothing!. I've spent the better part of the last ten years sacrificing too much of myself already!. I'm gaining those parts back, and I'm being careful that I won't do it ever again!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

my life, because it would give me a good and active death, and i know that i must die some time, so why not doing something good !?Www@QuestionHome@Com

The most rewarding thing would be to sacrifice everything!.!.!. lose your life to find it!. It's the great mystical anthem!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

The part of me that finds the need to answer unanswerable (philosophical) questions!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

If you give up something as a sacrifice merely to prove a point, then your act is no longer noble!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

That has no sense, you don`t sacrifice to be seen or to lead others to think you`re better than others!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

No, dear lady, not that part -please, I beg of you! Please let me keep my ignoble part, I don't need to prove anything!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I can honestly say I have no desire at all to do this so I guess the answer has to be nothing!Www@QuestionHome@Com
