Once one gets closer to the essence of being itself, the realization that this same essence is shared by everybody else becomes obvious. This is service to others work, because it's the work of unity. Service to self is, at its core, about separation. Separation in the sense of thinking that one is inherently special or more important than everybody else. From there, the attitudes or behaviors revolving around the control, manipulation and exploitation of others naturally follow.
If your quoted post is not "inherently special or more important" than other ones, why do you post it? In other words, why do you think you are right, have more wisdom to share then someone who service to self?
