Ethics require a person to be infinitely merciless to themselves and infinitely merciful to other people. The physiology requires the opposite.

Too much work wearc out mind and body, too much self control causes psychological damage. And weak self-control causes harm to others, while lack of work causes material and reputational losses.

The only thing that's left is to balance the damage dealt to you and the people around you to the best of your abilities and pray you have enough resilience to go through this.
