Let ignorant fools suffer?
If someone is ignorant of something that could drastically cut down their suffering should you try to help them? Do you know what it is? Would you tell them even if they didn't ask you?
I want to scream out the things I know to people who don't know what they really need to know. It could be saving more than one person from suffering. But I have a great resistance because I know somewhere in my heart that I will be dismissed. My words will go unappreciated. My concern will be misconstrued as me making them feel like an idiot, like they are less than me for not knowing what I now know. I feel like, it is not my job. They will be able to figure it out just like I figured it out, with help from God. If they are not asking for help, that is a big indication of how proud and ungrateful they are.
Helping proud and ungrateful people is a thankless job. You could even get killed for wanting to help. And yet, love is the reason you would be willing to take that risk.
