Historians shouldn’t have to pick one topic, they should be able to emphasize on both equally, without one or the other the Aztecs wouldn’t be who they were, and we might not have known about them because what they did just wasn’t important enough. The Aztecs were a very large group of people and they needed a place to live, so…

is always a time and need for sacrifice. Sacrifice is important in maintaining a good, loving relationship because you can’t always both be happy.

Mesoamerican artwork as a stand-in for humans, most especially in images of sacrificial heart extraction (such as in the Wagner Murals, which utilizes coyotes, or pumas, extracting a deer’s heart as a visual metaphor for sacrifice).

That is true. That is what makes the sacrifice of one’s life so special. It is an ultimate act of selflessness. However, not anything is worth dying for. Because life is such a precious gift, it should only be given up when appropriate. It is a rare occurrence when there is a situation in which we find ourselves given the choice to live or die. In fact, most of us will never be faced with this choice. I feel that if there was ever a situation in which dying would be the best choice for others,…
