Well meaning friends tend to forward many 'good for our soul' mails, with inspirational messages, exhorting us to change, reverse our lifestyle, make sacrifices; calling on our higher values; to love unselfishly, to live unrestrictively, to strive unceasingly:
To attain THE NOBLE values Man are supposed to have in him.
In everyday living most people pray, help many others, addressing many concerns; material and spiritual.
Though trying to imitate Christ, striving to walk his talk, endeavoring to live a life worthy of Him, I doubt I can, as yet, do a 'calvary' as he did.
It is unimaginable to give one's living life up for some one whom one loves; beyond logical human considerations & completely irrelevant, if it's for someone not loved.
Many give money, many others services; some ‘imagine’ they give love; many ‘believe’ they give their entire lives to God when giving up their family privileges eg. taking oath of celibacy.
Some give life's blood; some leave organs from their corpses.
All 'SACRIFICES' no doubt. And being what we are .. human beings, Super human efforts indeed!
"Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one’s life for one’s friends" (especially greater if it's some one we 've never known or met)
Here we have "Calvary Complex" (how I love syndromes & complexes & such) where a person has an innate unreasonable drive/force/tendency/desire to want to do a Calvary...
Dare you, are you able to do a 'calvary'?
All other SACRIFICIAL "acts" be they small, medium, large, extra-large or even glorious by earthly human standards, pale in comparison to "Calvary".
