Help yourself first!

I live in a country where we have a strong relationship in the family, where we tend to help each other when we have some kind of problem. It used to be a good thing, but as times goes, and the way people think and also with the consumerism that hits the nation really hard, it makes the people change, although it is safe to say that once there is a member fo the family who succeeded so there is a pressure from the other member so that the person will help the other.

But sometime people could be very ungrateful, and can also be a real jerk. They will just forget that good thing that they already did in the past, once the kind and good person is experiencing a problem, they seem to not be aware, not even care in the slightest. They might just toss it like an expendable thing. It is not just happening in one person, but I have seen it very often.

so that is why I encourage people to help yourself first, always put yourself first before thinking of the other. I know it sound selfish, but there is a time we will face the fact that others can be more selfish than we think we could. We would never know how bad can someone turn to be.
