Parents teach us the principle of others before self - and that stands. No one likes selfishness.

That said, sometimes we need to prioritize ourselves for the sake of others, much like how a parent should fit his life jacket before helping his family members with theirs.

It’s sometimes selfless to be selfish. Enjoy this Haiku.
