It is undeniably easier to ignore the hardships of those who are too weak to demand their rights than to respond sensitively to their needs. To care is to accept responsibility, to dare to act in accordance with the dictum that the ruler is the strength of the helpless.

I am not unaware of the saying that more tears have been shed over wishes granted than wishes denied.

I've always thought that the best solution for those who feel helpless is for them to help others.
