Save yourself first

I stopped watching news a long time ago: I refuse  to handle all the misery and squalor of the world (Weltschmerz) delivered straight, and these days live, nearly actual size, with Dolby Surround and in High Definition, into your living-room. I am just a human, not a Jesus Christ to save the world from its sins. 

Let's first save myself: let's breathe slowly and deeply. The Universe will do the rest.

Like they tell you in a safety drill on the airplane: put the oxygen mask first on yourself, then help others.
