"Secure your mask first, children and others after."
Anyone who has been on an airplane has heard a flight attendant say those safety instructions. The logic is simple. In the case of an air-related emergency (I'm not actually sure what would cause the masks to fall down), any "self-less" dude who tries to help a child with her mask before fixing his own may end up passing out, leaving both man and child in peril. When it comes to security, resources, or even emotional support, you can't help others till you help yourself.
Only the strong can protect the weak, only rich can care for the poor, only the smart can look out for the stupid. Of course not every strong, rich, smart individual will use his or her powers for good. Why do bad things happen to good people? Because they let them, and good and bad are subjective.
"The best thing you can do for the world is make the most of yourself."
Doing right by you is the best thing you can do for everyone else.
You have to have it before you can give it away.
