What is sacred in your life?
I recently learned what "dogma" is, and that reminds me of sacred things. Since dogma is the unchanging backbone laws of belief (the core pieces of doctrine), then dogma is sacred.
And being dogmatic means "to follow doctrine relating to morals and faith, a set of beliefs that is passed down and never questioned." Unfortunately people who are dogmatic often come across as arrogant and opinionated because they have found certain things that they will not budge on. I don't believe that this is a bad thing, since there should be something in our lives that we believe enough at our core to not budge on. But this is also taken as "based on unproven throes or even despite facts". So being unwavering and incapable of listening to and/or being a teachable person.
(some of this came from a website outside of this blog, I just forget where it was.)
So yes, to sum up, something sacred is something that is held as core importance, unchanging, like a rock.
If something is sacred to you, you protect it at all costs.
That doesn't make that person closed minded, that makes them someone who holds to what they cherish.
A virtue that many people lack.
