Unfortunately, when we master the art of sacrifice, we are inducted into a rather small community. Those who apply the art of sacrifice to their lives daily are the minority. The majority of humans, tragically, will become lost and disillusioned by the world around them, will supplement this loss with highly dopaminergic activities and drugs and then wonder why they feel so pessimistic about the world. This will only worsen as technology advances, comfort becomes more abundant, sugar, fat and alcohol become more fabricated and the need to struggle lessens. Thus, those of us who can must start sacrificing now. The sooner we can master sacrifice, the sooner we can become fulfilled individuals, ready to help those that are trapped in the talons of modernity realise this ancient truth.
