"What price humanity? What price hope? Will a sacrifice only work if it is done with a willing heart? If the sacrifice does not know love, how can it give its life? (Yes, I am referring to human sacrifices. Ritual slaying of prisoners doesn't count.) Does the duality of man need to be addressed in the sacrifice?"
Strength; common sense/realistic thinking; No, human sacrifice is a sacrifice of the community that the sacrificee was a part of, not of the sacrificee themselves; Of course. Love is a tiny part of life that we like to inflate (plus, they don't really 'give' their life- you have to work it out of them); no.
