Surely, you don't mean that. Self-sacrifice takes place all the time, society would crash without it. It takes place in parent-child relationships, in charity, in love, in friendship, in lots of good causes beneficial for one's society, and so on.
By self sacrifice I mean that your life is worth less than the cause. I don't think society would collapse if we held each persons life in esteem.
