The one with the abnegation it's a quite common human behavior in some people and characterized by voluntarily sacrificing those issues cherished and desired on a personal level because it is known that through their sacrifice they will be doing good to others, to the neighbor.
Self-sacrificing people put aside their personal interests such as forming a family in pursuit of giving that time that would be dedicated to the formation of a family, to the care and assistance of the poor, the sick or the most needy.
A daughter who gives up her growth professional and to marry to care for her parents who are ill can be seen as a true and faithful sign of self-denial.
Now, it is important that we mention that almost always such a sacrifice will be mobilized by an enormous love towards something, that is to say, the love that one feels for what one surrenders to is much greater and more important than what one would stop doing or that one is sacrificing.
Therefore, the concept of self-denial is closely related to issues such as
solidarity, philanthropy, since it proposes the disinterested delivery of help or assistance to those who need it most and also with the religion, since in many points and aspects religion demand on the part of its faithful or followers sacrifices that justly demonstrate the absolute dedication and commitment to it.Meanwhile, we must mention that the motivations for self-denial usually oscillate between religion and philanthropy, although, we must not ignore that there are some professions or occupations that demand on the part of those who practice them a total self-denial and almost absolute control of the most untimely actions, among them we can highlight the forces of safety of a country, doctors, firefighters, nurses, among the most prominent.
Meanwhile, from the sidewalk in front of self-denial, we will find totally negative and reprehensible attitudes and behaviors when we coexistence social is about how they are indifference and selfishness.
