Quote: I would like to reply to the idea that you should put yourself and your needs first.
Have you misinterpreted the quote?
It says nothing about being selfish in a "me first" manner. But it does convey the idea that one needs to save oneself before one can save another. In less drastic circumstances, one needs to keep feeding oneself to be able to feed others. This is a very realistic longterm plan, IMHO.
