people want to be matyrs. people want to sacrifice themselves so badly that most of them dont even know it. i think this desire is a manipulation of some of the core beliefs in most religion. All major religions usually have an aspect of sacrifice in them. In Christianity, Jesus sacrificed himself for the rest of the world. This meant that we were all, technically, already saved, we only need to claim our salvation, by believing, nothing more. I'm not so sure about other religions but i think that they place a heavy emphasis on sacrifice too. it's something of terrible importance to belief. you cant belief if you wont sacrifice. That's why people are so willing to give up something that's important to them just because of their beliefs. but problems start to arise when people forgot how to tell whether one should sacrifice oneself or one.

As i may have stated before, people are idiots.

See, we're all paranoid bastards. We think, at least on an unconcious level, that good things cant always happen to us. no one honestly beliefs that life is good. people only belief that life is good NOW, but it will be bad SOON. Because of this, we begin to feel the need to sacrifice unimportant things. the worst part is, this cant even be called religion devotion, because most of the time, people sacrifice to everything other that God. People can work ridiculously long hours, scream and argue with one another, and spend the rest of the time stoning in front of the idiot box. Most people will never think of going into a church or maybe giving a little bit back to the community.

that's why i find masochists so weird. they inflict pain on themselves because they think its easier that letting pain happen naturally. But then, that's also why i find that people who find masochists weird are also weird since their logic makes a weird kind of sense.


so basically, what i trying to say is that people what to feel pain, at least on a emotional level. people want, at least, sometimes, to be somewhere alone to cry and whatever. people do this because they think that...

matyr= being close to God

that's not exactly true. its most like...

being close to God= being hated by Satan= spiritual attacks = troubles in the world which only sometimes = matyrdom.


that's how i think it goes. course, i dont really know much so i should say anything.
