Which form of sacrifice is better?

Thinking seriously for several minutes, I came up with the conclusion that the sacrifice of a loved one shows true love and devotion. Obvioulsy sacrificing a loved one curtails for a definitive reason. Perhaps only the one who is sacrificing knows the true answer to this as it seems very hard to discern a reason. If it is as devoted as it seems to imply, then that reason should be told to the one who is being sacrificed for the sake of love..........peace & love......~p~
