How does offering oneself for the group help to sustain it?

Question

In what way does sacrifice enhance the resilience and solidarity of a society?

Answer 1

There is an important aspect of sacrifice embedded in the existence of the community in helping its members overcome fear and the fear of death. It engenders the spirit of a dwelling and integration among its members which injects within them the strength to keep on persevering which in turn ensures that every loss counts and is hallowed.
