Question: More important---Well being of others or self worth !?
Neglecting ones sense of self while striving to assure that those you care for are happy!.Www@QuestionHome@Com


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
I believe putting oneself before others is somehow selfish, yet most common!. On the other hand to neglect ones sense of self worth is only giving the ones you are sacrificing yourself for!.!.!.a small part of what you could be!. By being strong and by being the best that you can be, you allow yourself to be strong for others as well!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

It is impossible to appreciate the "well being of others" without first appreciating the "well being of self"!. For we are all connected by our common humanity and/or lack thereof!. So: yes, it all begins with "thee", then "me" or visa-versa!. The "Self" is KEY!Www@QuestionHome@Com

You can't create well being for others if you're not happy with yourself!. So, work to be the very best you're capable of!. Then, those around you will be happy too!. Put another way, "if momma ain't happy ain't nobody happy!"Www@QuestionHome@Com

I think there should be a balance between the two!. You should not completely neglect yourself while pleasing others around you, nor should you hold yourself so high up on a pedestal that you hurt or neglect the others!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
