People put it all, on the line, in equals contest.

Even political battles are brutal, (as MLK or any Kennedy can tell you).

None of us who desire good, want that they lost all, upon the alter of sacrifice;

but we take and praise to the glory, in the honor of it...

Mostly due to our mortality state of being.
