Self-sacrifice enables us to sacrifice other people without blushing.

Summary

This quote implies that when we willingly sacrifice ourselves for the sake of others, it can often lead us to justify sacrificing or causing harm to others without feeling ashamed or remorseful. The act of self-sacrifice can create a sense of moral superiority or entitlement, allowing us to override our natural instincts of empathy and consider the well-being of others as less significant. This observation suggests that self-sacrifice, when taken to an extreme or selective extent, can potentially lead to a dangerous and unethical mindset.
