Serve self and the short-term, or others and the long-term?

Serve self, serve the short-term.

Or serve others, serve the long-term.

The principle of precession, where nature’s side effect is often the main effect, where a honey-gathering bee accidentally pollinates and creates life on earth, not by plan but as the side effect, suggests that if we serve others and the long-term, we might precessionally serve ourselves and the short-term.

The precession of serving self and the short-term is there might not be a long-term.

We can have both, but only if we put service to the whole and the long-term as our primary focus.
