Im ain ani li mi li...?

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.
