If I am not for myself who will be for me?
This was actually the topic for my reform judaism confirmation class.
It comes from Hillel.
If I am not for myself, who will be for me. If not now, when.
I was just today told by an acquaintance that I am "pushy and blurt things out". I make them nervous.
I was in an altercation with an individual or a few who were exactly the opposite of justice and righteous conduct.
I spoke my word and I continue to speak.
So If I am to be "pushy and blurt things out", perhaps I am following Jewish LAW that I must be for myself.
Noone else is going to step up.
