We have both the right and responsibility to champion the causes which matter to us and the people under our duty of care (by design or fate). We have both the right and responsibility to take actions which help us survive, be fine or perhaps thrive, but not to the significant detriment of others for the insignificant or incremental gains for yourself and the people under your care.
How do you measure that?
There's always someone better off than you and always someone worse off than you.
If you have no headspace, no money and no time (not by choice), you are trying to survive. If you have any one of those things, you have hope. If you have any two of those things you are fine. If you (could choose) to have all of those things, you are thriving.
Know thy self. Get to know your shadow and stop lying to yourself. Stop being a victim, stop being a hero.
It is what it is, this too shall pass.
