Hilel, who I think gives a purpose in life, says אם אין אני לי מי לי, if I don’t care for myself, who wiill, כשאני לעצמי מה אני, if I am only for myself, what am I, אם לא עכשיו אימתי, if not now when? A person first must improve oneself and then others as soon as possible provided one believes in the afterworld.
