Dedication (Lat. dedication, from dedicare, to proclaim, to announce), properly the setting apart of anything by solemn proclamation. It is thus in Latin the term particularly applied to the consecration of altars, temples and other sacred buildings, and also to the inscription prefixed to a book, &c., and addressed to some particular person. This latter practice, which formerly had the purpose of gaining the patronage and support of the person so addressed, is now only a mark of affection or regard. In law, the word is used of the setting apart by a private owner of a road to public use.

Well base on the words meaning, dedication is a very complicated trait that one person could possess. A bond that allows one person to either directly or unconsciously serve, protect or even revere at any cost. Humiliation and recognition are sometimes the primary prices one could pay when he or she subjects himself or herself under someone or something. It could either be faith, a deity, a movie star, a superior, and a leader but most of the times it is always the person you love the most. It could act both as a payment for one's offences or a way of taking his or her duty unto another level. People tend to mock this individuals, sometimes asking them what drives them to continue doing all necessary just to show the recipient of the duty how "dedicated" he or she. The recipient may be ignored or even insulted no matter what he or she does. On the other hand people witnessing this gestures would have felt different and extend pity to the individual.

Call it insanity or even futility in one's action, but overall it is more than gut feeling that drives an individual in fulfilling his or her dedication. It may cost him his time, money, sanity and even freedom. The worst thing that could happen is when the recipient doesn’t even recognizes this action. It is a very unfair battlefield out there. As for the people who know me, I beg you not to hate or even think that I myself wasn’t responsible for what am I getting right now? But then again I hope someone pulls me out and tell me when is the right time to give up, coz I aren’t seeing that point in my life as of now.

In the end one question remains...

What would drive another, to stop this so called dedication...or me?

Hate?

Love?

Death?

Only the future holds the answer....
