Giving $5 to someone in need would be great, since you are giving as much as you can without harming yourself. However, if you give $7 to someone in need, thereby causing harm for yourself, you might be lessening your own potential to help others in the days ahead.
While one should see everyone else as One... don't forget that you, yourself, are part of the One as well. So it is neither selfish nor STS to take care of yourself, but Being One.
My 2 cents.
In Ra's terminology it will be Love balanced with Wisdom. Every entity has to determine what is that balance for them or what is their individual lesson for this life time.
