Common Sense

Let us deal in the hypothetical. Say you were in a boat that sunk and you were wise enough to put on your life preserver before the boat went down. Another victim to this tragedy comes up to you crying say are going to drown as they have nothing to hold on to. Do you:

A) Give them your life preserver
B) Let them hang on to you

You will probably pick B.

Here comes another victim and they want to hold on also. Do you:

A) Give them your life preserver
B) Let them hang on to you

You will probably pick B.

How many people will you let hang on to you? How long will it be till you drown yourself?

It is human nature to want to “save” others. At what cost though? There are cost that we are not even aware of when we are generous. We need to understand how often we are willing to “drown” in life and for what reasons.
