3 years ago, i met with a friend whom i never got in touch with for 5 years. it was good to her again, back then she was thrown out of their home after her mother found out she was pregnant. we talked and had a few drink,then she shared the nicest story ever. she said that sacrifice equals to happiness when it entails something to other people and makes both of you happy. I asked," what did you do these past years that made you say that?". she replied, "i donated a kidney to my mother without knowing it was me..." WOW

There are times in life where we should not always win to be happy but sometimes when we lose we experience happiness in it, so similarly when we sacrifice for others we can be happier and thus leading to inner peace and joy in life.

that was my first thought too i never really knew the whole story well, it just shows that people are unpredictable and act on mysterious reasons
