"It is easier to do one's duty to others than to one's self. If you do your duty to others, you are considered reliable. If you do your duty to yourself, you are considered selfish"
- Thomas Szasz

It is important to bear in mind that looking after ourselves is not selfish, however rather a required part of having the ability to take care of others. We should have the ability to fill our own cup prior to we can fill the cups of others.
