Is it a monumental mistake? On a global and local level. That to rescue such in any situation is counter productive? By rescuing you are depriving whatever of a valuable life lesson, a lesson that will change behaviour.
For the better.
To experience consequences is the only way, to rescue is to maintain unhealthy behaviour. For instance, putting a finger into a flame, will it happen again?, no. Yet you will prevent such. If my memory serves Gestalt therapy is based on such. Human behaviour is that people will make the same mistake over and over. They wont though, if the consequence is dreadful enough. The delusion is that feeding africa, providing medicines etc helps.
I put it to you it does not. That the population will churn out children by the dozen who will starve and die of disease ad infinitum. And the west maintains this abomination.
