RE: Are martyrs lunatics? Or are there times when sacrifice is necessary?

in #psychology8 years ago

When I was younger I fell prey to this. I took on the entire Department of Indian and Northern Affairs Canada... and wrecked my health in the process. These days I focus my attention only on areas where I actually can make a difference. My health and my emotional well being are greatly improved as a result. Good article! Much to think about.

ther'e nothing wrong with fighting the good fight!

BUT

nothing says yo have to throw your life away doing it; I should have added something about the severity of the cause, too. some fights need to be fought, and others need to be fought to the death

finally, it might have wrecked you health, but you can take pride in throwing yourself into it
