Sacred, Sacrifice, Sacrificial

Sacred. Sacrifice.   
         Sacrificial.

           "to make whole"
 
Hose off the holiness of them words and
just consider them good description for
system change,
reformatting,
reform,
reformation and
reconfiguration.
 
To die for.

Something’s got to “die” for “new life” 
to be born again and again. and again.
And it hurts: death & dying, damnit: it
damages.  Hurts like hello. Hurts like
hell: making whole (holy), making
health, weal (th), wellness, hale.
hallow..  . . 
 
       Cultural Connotation
Velcro-ed meanings:  the affect that
sticks to a word and automatically
generates an emotional  response, bitch!  

You got not choice in the matter and
manner of speaking but to react in  
   accord with CONVENTION. 
‘
     sacred sacrifice sacrificial…
 
Don’t let those words sound too much like
Christmas and Easter, Church and Holy
Smokes , OMG new age or Khrishnamurti,
Wendall Berry or your favorite shrink and
Wellness  personnel.
 
Habits and Habitats are routines, ruts,  rituals,
protocols, processes, procedures, algorithms,
conventions, conveniences. addictions which
hurt like hello if not hell to break, be broken.
 
There’s a sacrifice involved.  Something has
 to be killed,die dead in order for the change
of rut, routine, ritual,’ protocol, procedures,
algorithms conventions, conveniences,
addictions to be broken and reconfigured,
true?

Need we argue?
 
Trivial analogy: a fiction for illustration.
 
Say you’re a tennis player with a great game
and a poor serve.  Coach tells you how to
recalibrate your serving. You try. It screws up
your whole game. You lose. Keep losing, loser:
is the change worth it? Will you’re game be
even better afterward?
 
Finish this story.
It’s about sacrifice and why some "Walk Away
from Omelas,"  Salemo spelled backwards
(Ursela Le Quin's story on utopia.).
