In Eight Steps to Happiness Geshe-la says "'Self' and 'other' are relative terms, rather like 'this mountain' and 'that mountain ... 'This' and 'that' therefore depend upon our point of reference. This is also true of self and other. By climbing down the mountain of self, it is possible to ascend the mountain of other, and thereby cherish others as much as we presently cherish ourself."

On the Canvas. Staying on the Canvas.

Sometimes when you've been hit a bunch of times, it's better to just stay down on the canvas - resting until the next round - than to get up and take another punch.
When I was young & stupid, I didn't know this.

Signed,
Down for the Count
