One might sacrifice on principle, I might sacrifice something now for something better in the future and I might even sacrifice for a family member but why the hell would I sacrifice for the greater good or for the collective, when the collective for one...is not good, never mind valuable, (otherwise, why do they need someone to sacrifice something), or two...when it drags me down to their level. If that weren't true...then why do "I" need to sacrifice anything in the first place..?
