I say the following because I'm not sure that people believe me when I say I want to help people AND myself. To get help in helping, I need others to believe me. The following is verifiable. I have had a habit of putting others first too extremely, out of guilt, but once I had a chance to sincerely put another person first. We were coating a factory roof with waterproofing. My freind stepped in some and slid to the edge, which was about 40 feet off the cement below. Half his body was hanging over the edge and he couldn't get back on the roof. There were railings down there that could easliy break any bone in the body at such a drop. This was one time that I was truly and totally concerned about someone else. Within, I felt more peaceful than I had ever felt before. I think it's because my mind was completely off myself. I was certain that I would die if I tried to pull him up, but I did it. It's sounds corny, like it's out of a story, but he was the nephew of a policeman.
