How do you strike a balance between looking after yourself and thinking of others?

Like what would life be like if you only thought of others or you only thought of yourself and how do you strike a balance.





I think people that have the responsibilty of children have to strike a balance between think of themselves and thinking of their siblings.





I myself do not have any responsibilties and life is good but I don't know any better, so expalin what you get from considering others, I know there is a lot of virtue in kindness - if you help others you help yourself, give to others and it will be given to you.





From Steve|||I don't have any responsibilities either. But I think to strike a balance between looking after yourself AND thinking of others, you would have to think of others BY looking after yourself. Think about this carefully. It's easier than you think. ;)





Hope it helps!
