Achilles was willing to sacrifice his life for the sake of his pride because he did not listen to the advice of others and protect his achilles heel, the only place where someone could kill him. Achilles couldn't be killed except if you were to shoot an arrow into his heel, so by not protecting his heel, Achilles pride got in the way which lead to his death. He ended up getting shot by a poisoned arrow in his heel and died. Achilles was willing to sacrifice his life for the sake of pride. He sacrificed something huge for something so small.

According to a different source, this question refers to the poem "Burning a Book" by William Stafford.
In this poem, the author employs a free verse structure in the poem. This means that the author does not follow a strict rhyming pattern. The main theme of the poem is that ignorance and lack of new ideas are great threats to society. He claims that this is even worse than burning a book:<em> "More disturbing than book ashes are whole libraries that no one got around to writing." </em>Therefore, the author encourages innovation, ingenuity and creativity. This is emphasized by the free verse that the author employs.
