ROG Question

What would people be willing to sacrifice in times of hardship?

People make many sacrifices in life, and we ask ourselves why they do it or question their reason but sometimes we don't know the real reason or cannot understand it, for example Juan's mother made a huge sacrifice, she went out and beg so she could find money to feed her children many people don't do that because of their pride their "orgullo" this stops them from being some one else or have shame for what they do but this didn't stop her, she went in front of that church and sat there and ask for money while the people were passing by, when Juan found out about this he was in shock because it never goes through your mind that your mother would be begging for money after being rich or having the money to buy what you needed, he felt bad because he was hearing rumors about "the old lady outside the church" so when he went out to look for the old lady his surprise was that it was his mother, this affects every one because you believe something else and then you found something like this, I know that it would affect me if I found my mother outside a church begging for money but I know that she is doing it to help the family to bring food to the table obviously there are other ways to earn the money but there is always an easy way out to earn it. Another example can be brought from the text "Leaver your name at the Border" people sacrifice their name to have a better future for their families they do everything they can to survive they swallow their pride and follow the game to have a better life, every one makes a sacrifice in life and something you can see it or sometimes you can't but we can never judge people for what do if we don't know the real reasons of why they do or the way they are doing it, we are no one to judge people for what they do we just have to accept them for who they really are and help them, pick them up from the whole not push them down just because we don't believe in what they do.

What is the value of family?

Family has different meaning to every one, according to the dictionary family means: "any group of persons closely related by blood, as parents. children, uncles, aunts, and cousin", but some people it can mean something else ever one has a different perspective of what family really means, you might have a different perspective that mine about this, what I believe family is and I can prove my points with two different examples; I believe family is some one who cares for you and loves you no matter what you do, how you are, they still love you and they are willing to do anything for you because they are "your family", one example is from the book "Rain of Gold" Margarita cares for her family and is willing to do anything to help, protect them. She does everything to be there for her family to provide them food even though they have no money she finds a way to do it even if it is a degrading way, she still does it because it's her family and that's what family do for each other be there when the other needs you. Another example that I can use if from the text "Leave your Name at the Border", families sacrifice their lives, their names that mean everything to them it's who they are but they decide to give it up for their families and it's because they know the value of family they know how much family is worth so they do anything to survive in a country that it's not theirs and for what? They do it so their children can have a better future than what they had, and if by this you cannot see the value of family then I don't know what definition you have for it but I believe that the real "family" sacrifices who they are for who you are going to be and I have seen it and lived it because I have learned who my real family is so think about it, think who you real family is? the ones who are willing to give everything for you? for your wealth being? so take a moment and think who is your real family? and the only thing we can do is be thankful about who we have and not complain because what they do it's for our best even if we don't understand it.
