Be it a struggling country or struggling individual.
It a way it seems you can't win, unless you learn to play a system.... but if you are struggling to the degree of asking assistance others............. are you even able to play the system?

I think that some people have the character to truly be there for others and some do not. I have two people in my life now that are trying to help me in their own ways.
One is physically, time-wise and financially there. He expresses that he will do whatever he can to remain so.
The other, whom I had a long realtionship, professes his support and is there to talk... but its the typical platitudes...."think positive, don't dwell in it... pull yourself up and get past it". He doesn't understand my illness and though I've sent and given him ways to, doesn't try to. He is not that type of person.
So I think that people, and on the larger institutions are the same way. It has to do with the character of the ones running it/them.
