Sacrifice
What is the measure of a good man unless it is seen through the eyes of reality
That you can't please everyone but you must do everything to please the ones you want to keep
That sometimes to be good is to be selfish for your own
That to be good you must sacrifice the needs of someone you don't need
If everyone favours you then you are fake
If you've never had to cut them off then you are flawed
If you've never prioritized someone over another because you realised you'd rather lose them than someone else then you are ignorant to the truth
That you can't have them all
To love is to sacrifice
To sacrifice is a good man's deed
