People do not need you until they are consciously aware of the fact that they need you.
Those who demonstrate an inability to be consciously aware of themselves, such as some small children, are of course dependent upon those who are more aware, experienced and capable of helping them find their awareness.
Those who are immature need guidance until............

Until they naturally mature. But mature individuals, whether or not they are "wise", ultimately do not need anyone until they know that they are in need, until they are ready to ask....
For example, it is often difficult, if not impossible, to tell a "teenager" what to do once they've reached a certain level of maturity, even tho they are not yet very experienced, they ARE however aware enough to come to that conclusion on their own.
You cannot impose your will on conscious people and expect it to have beneficial, long lasting effects for them.
Freedom of will, freedom of choice.... has nothing to do with being wise or being right. It has everything to do with being human.
You are wise NOT to interfere with someone else's journey unless they reach out for assistance from you.
On many levels, to many people, this can at times seem cruel. But the only way to wisdom is experience.
We all know that a "book" education can only get a person so far.
Many employers will not except job applications from those who have no experience. No matter how many degrees they have!
One profession that demands as part of its curriculum an internship is that of Medical Doctor. While most of us have not experienced this, we are at least aware of this process from the plethora of shows broadcast for our entertainment. This process is always depicted as hellish and unnaturally demanding. It is the 'make or break' finishing touch to a book education that is designed to assure that the "student" can indeed become a "real doctor".
A professor can impose a demanding will upon their students for several years, but not until that student is faced with actual potentially life or death situations in which the student themselves must take action, will that student have gained any sort of wisdom that benefits them for the title of MD.
We see our friends struggle with life situations. We feel compelled to reach out to help them. But often times our "help" only becomes a distraction to the purpose of that struggle, or it becomes a crutch that they develop a dependency on, rather than an assist that boosts them on their way, on to the next part of their journey.
The Welfare system was designed with such good and compassionate intentions as to help citizens in hard times. This system was not accompanied with anything to equip people to resolve the real issues that put them in need, or to live beyond the system. So dependency developed. And now, the system is abused and out of control.
In essence, people must learn by what we call 'the hard way', thru experience, rather than an ignorant helping hand.
If you feel sorry for a small child struggling to climb up into a chair and always help them, eventually they expect it every time and never learn to do it for themselves. They will often have tantrums if the task is not done for them! This is the beginning of the destruction of free will and self responsibility.
The whole point of life is to live it! If our obstacles and challenges are constantly removed for us, then we never have to make any choices. And choice is the only power a human being has. Choice is the only thing we posses. If that power is never exercised then it never grows. It withers and dies. You become an invalid requiring care for the rest of your life.
This is why America was born such a great nation in our human evolution... The potential of Freedom for the human soul!
When we as individuals have ceased to exercise our free will and free choice, and have therefore relinquished that power to overseers, we become like children again. But instead of guidance that enhances our independence and sense of responsibility and freedom, we have been limited in order to maintain someone else's sense of order and control, for someone else's agenda. Therefore we are no longer free as a nation.
The war to regain our freedom is not a war with guns and violence, it is a war of exercising our power of choice. A war to regain our free will and choose to live together in peace and prosperity for all.
You cannot remove the pain from a friend's life. You cannot make it better. You can stand by them while they feel it, you can feel the pain with them. Share the experience, don't remove it.
If we do not choose as individuals what to do in our moments of pain and challenge, then we are no longer free. It is making the hardest decisions that cause us to evolve. To judge others because they struggle with this truth is to judge yourself. We've all been there. Rather feel their struggle and add the positive energy of your survival, your conquering, your mastering of those situations to their heart. This is true help. This is true compassion. This is true love.
And as you grow, mature, gain experience and wisdom... as you become more and more aware, you will know when its time to intervene and when its time to just stand nearby and share other's feelings as they go thru their growing process.
Your wisdom benefits no ear, no heart until it is ready to be heard.
Follow your own heart, not someone else's.
Be responsible for your own path, not someone else's. If your path crosses another, there is a reason. And that reason will make itself known. It is not your responsibility to interfere, but to be available when the call comes.
