I think Galatians 5:14, "love your neighbor as yourself" is very specific the way it is worded. I believe it's related to Matthew 7:9, "Or what man is there among you who, when his son asks for a loaf, will give him a stone?" We do take care of ourselves and those we love first and I believe Galatians 5:14 is saying, take care of your neighbor like you take care of you and yours. Everyone puts their own children first, their own family; this is not about how "well" one cares for one's individual self; whether one has a put-everyone-but-me-first complex or not; one is not supposed to do that in the first place, but rather is about "balance" and making sure that as well cared for as you are (food, shelter, clothing, people who love and care for you), just check and make sure others around you are cared for too in a similar manner. Give to local charities and help out elderly neighbors, etc. The Galatians (central Turkey now) to whom Paul wrote were still warlike, volitile Celts and not very sophistocated (some tried to worship Paul and Barnabas and when they protested, they stoned them instead (Book of Acts)). So the meaning of the text probably isn't very "deep", I take it at face value, to treat my Galatian small town "neighbors" most of whom I know, as I do my family.
