Just me my self and I, how does that sounds, selfish right? Yes many times all we do is thinking and planing on how we could first make ourselves better, how we could first build our own empire and love our self first, sincerely this is normal it occurs naturally to every thing that has life yeah or should I say it is one the characteristics of humans/living things (self love) and truly this happens a lot from our root and spread to the world at large.
Humanity for centuries has been battling with this in their own big/little ways but always seems uncured. Many ruleers, organization, trybs, countries name it has embark on so many charity duties to extend love but the truth still Stands, you can't give what you don't have, that tells us that we must first of all have it before you could give and there's no two way about it, but then someone ask dose this make one selfish?, the answer is no, because truly no one gives beyond his/her possession even as christians we are told in the bible specifically the book of john chapter 3:16 that 'for God so love the world that he gave his only begotten son to save Us' note; this tells us that God had a son before he then give as ransom.
This is to tell us that we really need ourselves to help others , remember a broke vehicle can not convey anything not even the lightest load until it is fixed. This write is not to encourage or promot selfishness but rather to make it clear that you must have before you go, I Know some persons may not agree with me on this but sir/ma'am look around what is that thing that u have given without first having
In summary let me remind us with this African proverb that say 'a withered tree can not atract the passerby' why? Because they are not going for it fruit nor shelter (it has nothing and can give nothing), do well to build your self first and be happy to extend the blessings as well.
