Virtues - Sacrifices

In the middle of the sea, a captain and his crew was sailing. The water was calm, and the wind was low. The captain rested for a while until he was alarmed by one of his men.

"The wind is growing mad, captain!", the crew exclaimed.

The captain tried to maneuver his ship back to the shore. But the waves are getting bigger, thus making it harder for them to stir the ship. The captain noticed that the ship is hard to control with all that weight that the ship is carrying. He then decided to order his crew to throw all the heavy things from the ship into the sea. In doing so, he was able to drive the ship safely back to the shore.

The captain knows that he has to give up things, or a lot of things to keep his ship moving. And so is the knight in rusty armor, he knows that sacrifice is sometimes inevitable. It is helpful, so that he can move and go on with life.
