Hello, it looks as if you took great offense to what I have said. Sorry that you have; but tell me, how do you do this? Also, I can see how physically you can save someone, by giving help in a drowning or CPR but other than this...I can not understand how you go about saving a person from themselves. Yes, encouragement, yes aiding them in their time of need, yes being a shoulder to cry on, but actually saving them????

I've been a part of cheritable programs and have had a hand on lifting someone up
with financial or emotional problems...but I did not save them. A altruistic
endeavor is a part of the human spirit....but I guess I have met someone recently who pictured himself as a great helper and hero to other people...but actually a very
selfish person who wanted to pat himself on the back. Deserving of kudos for his actions instead of the weird person he is in trying to "control" others. Sorry if I made that comparison.

I have also met others who are in constant neediness and can be helped on occasion,
but if left to themselves will "not" take responsibility for their own basic needs at any time. Are these the type of folks you try to help? Not trying to sterotype people here, but maybe you can tell me how this has worked for you in the past? I'm older and likely more jaded on the human condition than you are. Some few folks need temporary help and can get the ground solidly under their feet with a bit of help.
But there are differences and some would drain another of all resources, emotional and financial and that would never be enough to meet their neediness.

Are you in some special field that has trained you to get through to people? How are you applying your help to others? Not trying to be ugly here, trying to understand how people claim to "save" others.
