The Mandatory Crucible
If you sacrifice yourself for another,
it is not love.
If another sacrifices themselves for you,
it is not love.
But sacrificing all that is not you,
all that is not true,
is the mandatory crucible you must perpetually face
if you are to experience the purest and the deepest love
both within and beyond.
