The distinction between sacrifice and love

On the 6th week of the course, Dr. Edwin discusses the distinction between sacrifice and love as we are looking at the story The Mahabharata. When Dr. Edwin asks the meaning of sacrifice and love, I kind of create meanings that overlap each other. The distinction between love and sacrifice is very small as they overlap each other. According to Dr. Edwin’s meaning of sacrifice, it means that to give something at a cost and it is not worth the outcomes. When we sacrifice something we would lost something and the after effect of I would not be at worth as much as what you’ve sacrifice. As for love, Dr. Edwin’s definition for it is that to give something and something good happens in return. It is an act of love where we do something that at the end would result in a good way. For example, a mother who spend her whole life caring for her child and not to herself and at the end of the day, her child becomes successful in life, it shows that it is an act of love where she her hard work is worth it. On the other hand, when the child becomes not filial, then it is a sacrifice where she has wasted her time with the child and at the end of the day, the child is not worth the care.
