Would you put yourself first?

People do have the right to put themselves first, but it doesn't mean that they should. For example if a family's house is in flames, the mom and dad wouldn't just run out and leave their kids in there, they would put their kids first if they were in their right mind you could put yourself first when its your birthday an you get the first piece of cake,there are many more examples of when you should put yourself first, and somebody else first like if somebody didn't have a family, and they were running from a title wave they would probably put themselves first and so on.
