A Self-Sacrificial Person I Have Known


Long time ago, there was a little child who always listened and obeyed everything
told by a family. No matter how difficult duties were, that child never denied and
kept doing until success. On the other hand, everything seemed going well,
but nobody knew that was a prelude to an unforgettable pain.
Time flew so rapidly as a blink of an eye. After enrolling in high school,
most people around that adolescence asked more responsibilities.
Indeed, there was no way that young one could refuse because of respecting
a way of democracy. Many duties such as a part of student council, and an honor student
fell into those undeniable hands. Even though that young preferred to refuse any tasks
asked by others later, seeing people getting troubles left that one no choices again.
Day by day, that one had already acknowledged that it might be a way of atonement.
All that one can do is to agree and staying in an endless loop.
In other word, more compassionate that one become, more responsibilities
that one has to take.
Finally, is there any happiness waiting in the end or just yearning for nothing?

  1. Peet, it seems that youngster "couldn't say no." A number of people suffer from that malise and become over-committed. To be self-sacrificial is a good thing, but on the other hand to allow and encourage others to step up and take responsibility for various tasks is a good thing as well.

  2. I like your writing. It's hard to answer the question isn't it, but I think it's good topic to discuss with other people.
