Both have their pros and cons; Everything in moderation.

Ecclesiastes 3:1 To everything there is a season, and a time for every purpose under heaven:
In any healthy relationship ( lovers, friends, co-workers, etc..), there is no pro if the service-to-all-as-self results in total self sacrifice. In these situations, the relationship fails because it is missing the one who sacrificed themselves. Service-to-all-as-self requires at least a small portion of service-to-self. Thus, service-to-self moderates service-to-all-as-self in order to maintain a healthy relationship and the axiom is true: Everything in moderation.one is more pro than the other where otherness is contrast
there is no self-sacrifice in service to all. all includes self. self sacrifice and service to self doesn't include all.In any healthy relationship ( lovers, friends, co-workers, etc..), there is no pro if the service-to-all-as-self results in total self sacrifice.

Don't you value relationships?
We were talking about service-to-all-as-self, not just service-to-all. Service-to-all-as-self means "all" replaces "self".there is no self-sacrifice in service to all. all includes self
all includes self. there is no "we" in "your" mis-understandingWe were talking about service-to-all-as-self, not just service-to-all. Service-to-all-as-self means "all" replaces "self".
So what you meant was "service to all including self"?all includes self. there is no "we" in "your" mis-understanding
everything would then be all in moderation, or service to all in moderation.
this is the ideal given in john 15:13
there is no self-sacrifice in service to all.
this is the ideal given in john 15:13
all doesn't exclude anything; so yes. you even intuited it in your statement, "Everything in moderation". I reiterated it as: "nothing to excess"; which comes from the oracle of delphi.So what you meant was "service to all including self"?
excess leads to suffering. neither to the left, nor the right, but straight and narrow is the wayHere's the bible passage:
John 15:13 Greater love has no one than this, that he lay down his life for his friends.
How is this the ideal if there is no self-sacrifice in service to all as self?
which type of service is optimal and why, service to all as self, or service to self only?
