I can begin to attempt to understand this balancing concept because every entity is equal, no one is greater than another...therefore my life is as valuable as this other individuals that I would sacrifice it for happily. But that is the extent of my understanding at this point .
I wish there was more "meat" in this wisdom that I could practically apply to myself because as of right now there is nothing stopping me from an act like martydom (ie pushing someone off the road if it meant me being hit by a car, etc). Would others not do the same if they were in a similar situation?
I just wonder if at the last minute, as love sent to yourself, you might not exclude yourself from martyrdom, just as again last resort of love to yourself to continue your physical experiment, as in continued service to others. Definitely a paradox...
