Is meditation a STS act?

[Questioner]

Exactly, STO starts with accepting yourself and giving yourself what you fairly need to survive and have fun. From that position you will be able to give more to others.

Again, that's the key lesson for me to learn: to love your neighbor as yourself, you do need to love yourself. I've been conditioned to think that service starts with totally depleting myself for those who are unhappy, and ends when this kills me. I'm now considering the premise that those who offered those lessons did not actually have my best interests at heart.
