What Sacrifice Can Cost

Sometimes, we don't know who in our lives will be out there to give up something for us. Make a sacrifice.
Almost never do we realize how much that sacrifice costs for that person.
I guess in a culture so used to greed and selfishness, it's hard to anticipate ANY form of sacrifice.
And yet, there are people that are willing to lay down their lives (or maybe just what matters to them; we don't always need to think big) for the sake of the ones they care about. I think there are plenty of big sacrifices in our lives already - our parents, our teachers. They have given up years to help make us wonderful people.
I think the ultimate sacrifice though is to give up our entire lives for someone that may or may not deserve it. Or maybe someone we don't even know. I find it awesome when people are willing to give up just a little to help people they don't know.
But can anyone give up their lives for someone they may not know, or even care about?
What would you give up to save someone that you don't know?
