RE: Is It Selfish to Help Yourself First?

in #philosophy4 years ago

Thanks for sharing your thoughts. Curious, do you think if you focused on category 2 all the time (even when you are happy), could you a reach a more sustainable pace where category 1 stuff happened more easily and frequently? That, I think, is the hypothesis that I'm thinking through.

Sort:  

First I need one question answered. Why have you specifically said "physical needs" in category 1? I personally have kinda ignored that part and have envision mental needs for that’s what i help to heal.

So i have pondered about that a bit more. I think that i AM following the "ruling" of category 2. But as i said in reality I am happy vast majority of the time therefore that time to help others exists (but almost exclusively with the mental well-being of people rather than their physical needs.

That’s why I fully agree with you but my emotional rant may have misled you:). I am just weird due to the near permanent happiness - therefore categories 1 and 2 are kinda merged during the times when I am if you know what I mean.
