sacrifice

the dictionary has a bazillion definitions, but this one seems the most all-encompassing:

"the surrender or destruction of something prized or desirable for the sake of something considered as having a higher or more pressing claim."

so how do you know which has a higher claim?

when weighing all things, which things get the most weight, which things are meant to matter more? and why is it that just when you think you know the answer, something, some feeling you didn't expect, some something you didn't know was there comes into play and fucks everything up?

how do you know?
