Always put Jesus first, the other person second, yourself last.

Ayn Rand would disagree with you, there. She was of the opinion that peoples' 'self interest' was what makes the world go round.

I am of that same opinion.

But it does work well for sentences, I reckon. But as a way of living your life, it is destructive to the natural order.

Ayn's point was rational selfishness. That qualification needs to be made. Basically she's saying that once YOU are taken care of, THEN you can help others. In Jordan Peterson terms - CLEAN YOUR ROOM!
