My father showed me this today:

living

I was reminded through a relatively cheesy but entertaining action/sci-fi movie called Armageddon what true love is. It is sacrifice. Particularly, sacrifice for other people.

We all have dreams for our futures in this world whether we know it or not, but a fulfilling life is not determined by whether or not we achieve these dreams. A life is fulfilled by living, fighting, and dying for a "greater reality", something that is beyond us all, but for us all. I think what this comes down to, practically speaking, is making genuine sacrifices in your life, giving up time-consuming, unproductive, yet tempting activities (for example, surfing facebook or even just wallowing in a bad attitude), and replacing it with selfless actions and selfless attitudes. What really matters? By submitting to a sacrificial, true love, we may find that we truly live.

Of course, I'm preaching to myself, but to all other human beings as well because I believe it is objectively true.
