the light is not in him

My assumption all along has been that all is not shadows, that some must be light. What if the light is also shadow; false light, true shadow?

I've never done one sacrifical thing for anyone. Self-sacrifice requires positive self-worth. The sacrifice is giving up the worth for something else, someone else. One cannot do that if the self-worth is something less than worth. Then nothing is given up for the someone.

That's not sacrifice -- that's a poor trade.
