Have you ever held a grudge? Are you holding one right now? If so how long are you going to hold that grudge before forgiving them? Will it be days, weeks, years? Today I want you to ask yourself the questions, why is it important to forgive? Well if you don't know why, keep reading on and I will try to explain why it is important to forgive. First of all, not forgiving can lead to not only spoiling the relationship with that person, but also with their family and friends. For the simple fact that you refuse to forgive can lead to people losing trust in you. This may have long lasting effects on that friendship even if you choose to forgive later. Lastly, that person may be truly sorry for what they did and are hoping that you forgive them. All it may take is a simply and short "I forgive you" to regain this aquantance's trust back. As long as that person is sorry for what they did it will be easy to get back what friendship you may have lost. In conclusion, you should forgive because it may cause you to lose other relationships, they other person may be sorry for what they did and are hoping that you will forgive them, and lastly it is easy to do and may solve everything.
The Reaping in The Hunger Gamesand The Ceremony of Twelves from The Giverare both ceremonies that limit individual choice and demonstrate the anxiety and fear that can occur when people do not have control over their destinies. In The Hunger Games,The Reaping is an annual ceremony that every child must participate in to determine which children will be selected as the district’s tributes in the hunger games, a fight to the death between 24 children across the country. Katniss’ reflections during The Reaping demonstrate that she resents the way in which she has no choice but to be entered in the drawing, and she expresses disdain for her government because of the power that they yield over her. Although she demonstrates some personal choice by volunteering in her sister, Prim’s, place, because she is essentially volunteering to die, one can conclude that she feels as though she has no real options to live a meaningful life in her society. In a similar way, the Elders of Jonas’ community control the decisions for its people. In The Ceremony of Twelves, the Elders determine the jobs for each twelveyearold in the community. Following the ceremony, the children begin to train for their assigned profession. Jonas expresses his fear and nervousness about this assignment, both in his reflections before the ceremony and in his conversation with his parents. He is concerned that the Elders will assign him a position he does not like, and recognizes that decisions made by the Elders are not easy to change. As a result, he feels anxiety for the future because he does not have control. Although Jonas does not face or fear death like Katniss, both individuals feel a sense of fear and lack of control as a result of their societies.
It deppends on the type of warrior but I will try to explain using the Samurai. I think with them the value of the moral is of high importance and determined their lives:
The samurai considered death as something they had to be always prepared for and thus, whenever it was needed, they would sacrifice their life "for a greater good" they knew it was something it might happen anyway. The idea of trascendence is something we have to be also aware of; They thought that what you do in this life will affect how you start the next one (reincarnation).
Let's also talk about a "negative" way of sacrifice; The seppuku, where they took their own life by cutting their stomach with a sword when they considered they didn't follow properly one of the eight most important values as we can see in any of the samurai codes or books like Hagakure or the Bushido code. these eight codes are: Justice, courage, mercy, politeness, honesty, honor, loyalty and self-control.
Not only life they would sacrifice but also money, food, social life because these things might be a distraction or a cause of desire whic leads to suffering.
