With every choice to deny ourselves in the face of the other, we find that we do not truly exist and that eventually by denying ourselves completely, we will become all things. It is by endless self-denial we will see the key to resolving suffering is not believing in who we are anymore. All there is in the end is a love that we are not worthy of until we've destroyed every remnant of our ego. Then we have truly served.
Your depressing outlook belies an identification with the ego. You are not the ego. You are the soul. The ego is a construct of separation, which only exists within the veiling. The death of the ego liberates you, it ends the very concept of sacrifice! You are worthy of being soul, without ego-chains to bind you!

Yes. This is a societal construct, not a spiritual requirement (obviously).

Again, another societal construct (war:fear). Are you understanding anything I'm saying?
