SACRIFICE is expected when there is a prize or a necessity at hand. How often though, is it abused: when the call to sacrifice is used to cover mistakes, narrow mindedness and inefficiencies in the churches and workplaces. How easy it is to sacrifice someone else instead of addressing the truth and swallowing the painful pills of surgery and stock-taking.
A band-aid is less bothersome than a surgery. Just stick 'em on anywhere, la! Maybe the festering wound will heal itself...?!
