I have to wake up for work in the morning... I have to get my clothes from the washer and put them on, while brushing my teeth and hair... I have to kiss the wife and children goodbye as I rush out the door for work... I have to work........ I have to spend a little time with the kids when I get home... I have to shower and listen to my wife... I have to go to bed... I get to sleep... I get to open my eyes in the morning beside my lovely wife... I get to take my clothes from the laundry and get to brush my teeth and hair... I get to kiss my wife and kids before I get to leave for work... I get to work... I get to spend a little time with my kids when I get home... I get to shower and listen to my wife... I get to go to bed...

Theologians will debate that sacrifice and happiness are two entirely differing sides of emotional spectrum—especially when those theologians are getting something for their opinions! Their idea of happiness and sacrifice may in-fact be as simple-mindedly synonymous to the phrase 'give and get'. or 'loss and gain'.      Religious and spiritual sects are separated into two basic beliefs on loss and gain. Of course, there are those who maintain belief in an entity, possibly self-regulated meta-physically and, who maintains a weighted perception of the individual as they make choices throughout daily activities. Then there are also those who believe that everything has been stewed up from some primordial soup and that no one judges actions of individuals because everything is just stuff, and we are mere electrically charged meat.
