Well the question seems to be philosophical. But I am really confused what are you asking about?

Well I am not very much concerned with myself. I have duty towards the outer world also.
But looking after oneself is the most necessary thing, if you want to understand the world. i.e meditation...

Unfortunately, there are times that I do for myself more than I do for others. I think the "me" world started way back when the "Self Help" groups began. I attended some of those groups at one time, and what they stress is the need to "take care of yourself". Often we get so caught up with the fast pace, everybody's problems, running here and there, and catering to everyone else's needs, our children's, our elderly parents, etc. Years ago, we were always afraid to say "no" to someone's request for our help, or say "no" to a simple invitation...we were afraid to hurt someone else's feelings, so out of obligation, we often went along with whatever was requested with us, even though we hated doing it. In any self help program, you will learn to say "no", and not be afraid to do so. Unfortunately what happens in this process is, you go from always saying "yes" to finally saying "no" so quickly, you go from one end of the spectrum to the other, and it becomes easier and easier every time and in the beginning there is no balance between the two. But eventually, they show you how to balance things out...to be able to say "yes" when you think it's necessary, and for the good of your family or friends. And you also learn when it's time to say "no" in order to get that healthy balance. Unfortunately, it takes awhile to find that balance.
So, while we are learning to take care of ourselves instead of everyone else all the time, our own children are learning from us, and they too start thinking of themselves, and what they want and need. The vicious circle begins, and it goes on from there.
