 The value of savoring what we get maybe is the spice that makes everything tastes better. 

Everybody has an opinion. Too many times we are told every opinion is valid. But not all opinions are right. Someone may have an opinion that the sky is blue. Someone else will say that the sky is red. Are both wrong or both could be right at different times?  The difference between having an opinion and believing you're right is that you believe that your opinions are facts. Facts that are correct all the time. Even correct facts are not correct all the time. Take the sky example again. It's not always blue because sometimes you can get red. If you believe that the sky is always blue, what would you say when you see the sky is red at sunrise or sunset? Would you still claim that the sky is blue even though it's red? And how about if you learn that the sky isn't really blue because it's really the effect of gas particles in the atmosphere that's making it look blue?  Will you still claim you are right or will you learn something new?

There's a lot to talk about in dealing with history. Some desire to remember, others desire to forget. It's not just the two sides of that desire but what it leads to. Some desire to remember to just fan the flames of long ago. Others desire to remember to learn and teach future generations of the mistakes of the past. Some desire to forget to claim innocence when the past is repeated. Some desire to forget to erase the pain of the past and move past with hope for the future.

 It can be hard to justify sacrifice when tomorrow is so uncertain. Sacrifice implies that we give up something today for something tomorrow. The more sacrifice we commit today implies that what's tomorrow is really valuable.  This means that sacrifice requires some form of faith and a lot of Hope. it's paradoxical but sacrifice can be easier if it's not tied in to something specific in the future. It's easier to focus on sacrifice itself or sacrifice for sacrifice's sake, then to be always calculating for something in the future. That is Faith  And when the reward comes, it will be much sweeter.
