Charity begins at home. Is it selfish? The flight safety
demonstration says, you should wear the air mask before
you help somebody or even children. The clear message is , Help
yourself before you help others. You must put on your own mask before you can help
others.
Typically, the scenario given is of an adult and a
child, which I would assume is a parent-child situation in traveling circumstances.
This has always seemed mind-boggling to me. It seems selfish and unnatural to
put your own mask on first, ignoring the child for a few minutes while you
effectively "save yourself. By not helping yourself first, you both
suffer.
Jesus said “Live and let live” it is not
reverse. You should live to help other. Oxygen is more required to you before you
try for others.
If you are healthy you can make other
healthy, If you are wealthy , you can make others wealthy, If you have studied well you can teach other.
This is not about selfish.
This is about law of life. Live and let live , never let live and live…
