Them or Me?

To begin with, this is not actually the right question to be asking, Dear One.

Those are not actually the two options that you are choosing between when you are struggling to figure out which is more important in the moment; taking care of their needs, or taking care of your own.

In actuality, it is not a choice between Them or Me that you are trying to make.
It is a choice between Me or Not Me.

And if you want to know which choice to make, if you want to know which choice will always serve the greatest good, which choice will always serve your greatest good, (which are both always one and the same) we will tell you.

It will always be to choose ME.

Because choosing Not Me can never serve the whole in any positive way.

PS
Making this choice has absolutely nothing whatsoever to do with being selfish.
