something that comes to mind is what i did last wed, i wont get into details, but it was a service to self moment, i was basically doing it for my own good. there were 2 situations that day one about 15 min before i wasn't paying attention while riding my bike, i looked up and there was a car in front of me, i flipped over the bike, crashed pretty good, nothing life threating, though my body is now sore. shortly after when situation 2 comes up, my back tire on my bike loses air, theirs no hole due to something sharp puncturing it, seems like the valve broke.
i thought to myself these may have been a test or a sign, and what happened was the effect or punishment of me failing.

wow!

stuff/coincidences like that will cause one to lock the door and lay in bed with the blankets pulled up over your head!

but to put things in perspective, your "service to self indulgence" evaluation in this case is a bit awry. taking health care of your 2d meat suit is a desirable and most legitimate duty. the goal is 51% for others, 49% for oneself -- not 95% for others and virtually nothing for 'oneself'... after all we are all one. so, in a particular sense, taking care of ourselves is benefitting the 'all'.

does the above make sense? or is it mere sophism?

on the other hand, if you were preparing for the "mr. universe" title and overly obsessive in trying to get another inch packed on to your already swollen 20" bicep -- and were on the side surreptiously adding sucrose to your competitor's creatine-- well, that would be another story
