Just because you have to choose between things you can possibly have, does not mean you are sacrificing the thing you don't choose. You can't sacrifice something you don't have. And I guess its a nitpick on one's definition of sacrifice, so just saying that this is my subjective opinion.
A way I like to put it is: everything has pros and cons, and you have to decide what cons you are willing to put up with, given that the pros are close enough.
- yamrzou 3y ago> You can't sacrifice something you don't have You sacrifice your desire for it. Since you can not have everything you want, you need to decide what trade-offs are acceptable to you. It is essentialy the same as what you said: You have to decide what cons you are willing to put up with. I think the author's framing is correct, because the alternative is wanting everything/perfection, which is impossible.
