I found that unconditional love is a net benefit to the Creator. So if you sacrifice, then a part of the Creator (you) is restricting love to the Self in order to allow more love to others. The end result is not a net benefit, because it's a -/+ operation.
Wisdom comes into play to find a way of giving others the love they deserve without subtracting any love towards yourself. Thus, if there is still a sacrifice, at least it won't feel like a sacrifice. It will be done gladly and openly. But in my opinion, the mixing of wisdom and compassion (compassionate-wisdom) will not often result in what we call a sacrifice.
Thank you Patrick. I agree, with unconditional love it will not feel like a sacrifice. Sometimes I struggle to find the words. I think I was speaking of the wisdom gained from the experience of Love. In hindsight I found a different perspective and that was a perspective of acceptance and appreciation. The Ra material reminded me that self-acceptance was the first step towards forgiveness and acceptance of others. And all begins from within. The follow up question would be, is unconditional love and acceptance of all flaws true wisdom? Self to self or other self.
