One must look to raise others where possible. This comes with being mindful of falling back down when attempting raise another. Such that one must be pragmatic about their own affairs so as to afford a spot from which they can do something to help another. If you are both to die in the same whole because one missed the time to tie a rope to themselves before ‘rescuing’ the other, then it is a waste. The self is the reflection of all else, and for that one must focus on the self and do as much as possible for others while remaining secure in their place to have helped in the first place. Self-love brings the ability to have oneself overflow with love and thus have that love seep into their surroundings. Fill your own cup until it beings to overflow into others. Constructive management of self beats the sacrificial nature of many often caused by their lack of self-love. Every soul is worth it, including yours.

Meditate.
