The Way Of Sacrifice And Loyalty
If saying that the opposite of “sacrifice” is “loyalty,” then “sacrifice-loyalty” may be the only method and guiding principle to resolve the current social contradictions.
Here, “loyalty” and “sacrifice” can in fact be understood as the same meaning. Only, in different eras, toward different objects and groups, and with different ranges of impact, the application differs.
For example, in feudal society, the various uprisings to seize imperial power. For example, in the sixties and seventies of the last century, the “arts workers and armed guards” who defended the leader.
One is “sacrifice, from root to crown, advancing upward,” one is “loyalty, from the peak, falling down in counterattack.” And those caught in between, at times, naturally become more or less the sacrificial objects or the burial offerings of both.
Therefore, the true core of the Way of Sacrifice and Loyalty lies in coercion, in brainwashing, in sacrifice. Thus, those who need to be vigilant at all times are not the you, me, he or she around, but rather any individual or group that advocates and possesses this mindset of sacrifice and loyalty.
