Have you ever selflessly sacrificed "for the greater good" of something/someone?

Question

(No need to tell me exact details.) How did it work out for you? Were you still thinking selflessly afterwards? Did you regret your actions, in the end?

It's a moral dilemma, of sorts.

Answer 1

Nope.  I've never had the chance to.  idk if I would.

Answer 2

Yes, and nothing makes you look deeper into yourself than committing a sacrificial, selfless act. You tend to see what kind of person you really are. There could be no regrets when its the right thing to do.  

Answer 3

I do that all the time, for my family, and even though I am aware of the situation, and I hate it sometimes, I still do it.

Answer 4

Even if your first impulse is to be entirely selfish and not do what is best for the common good every time I overrule that impulse and do the good thing I find that I reap more than I gave. Pretty soon it became a habit with me.
