@skeletor A related one that just got me out of a bad situation:

You gotta think of yourself because nobody else will nor can they be expected to. You are your own responsibility.

Or something. I dunno. It's OK to be a little selfish and in fact you are obligated to be. You are being morally inferior if you don't take care of yourself.

edit: Good people want good for you, but YOU are responsible for arguing for what you need. That's the other important part. You are expected to.

You've got to put your oxygen mask on before you can help your neighbor.

@crazyeddie @skeletor It isn't selfish to take care of yourself. The irony of selfishness is that it's not what you do for yourself, it's something you do to others. Minding your own business is not selfish. Attempting to force others to do as you would have them do, be as you would have them be, *that* is selfish.

@crazyeddie @skeletor gotta put on your own oxygen mask so you don't pass out before putting on someone else's.
