Suppose that, in comparison to another individual, you have your shit together. This individual may be an acquaintance who has struggled with life, may have mental issues, alcohol issues, or the like but never made a whole lot of progress.

More than once have I stayed out of the fray when people I know have gone through shit. Like Casablanca, "I stick my neck out for nobody." I don't expect help should I have difficulties and I'd feel worse if people I knew had to deal with it. A bit of Hedgehog's Dilemma.

Maybe the discussion will spur more thoughts

I have. My older sister. Long story short she will never change. Feminism got her and its never letting go. She has 3 different kids from 2 fathers one is gone the other is attempting to ruin her even more than she already is. She is on welfare and can't keep off drugs. There isn't any saving her I believe its mental illness and I think most here would agree.
