@Temporallube yes i understand the merits of that advice but sometimes people are getting victimised and have not the strength too stand up for themselves . you cannot just turn your back on them and let them suffer abuse

@smiler2012 interesting say more on what you mean.
here is the full quote of Darth Kreia telling another about the folly of their charity:
“If you seek to aid everyone that suffers in the galaxy, you will only weaken yourself... and weaken them. It is the internal struggles, when fought and won on their own, that yield the strongest rewards. You stole that struggle from them, cheapened it. If you care for others, then dispense with pity and sacrifice and recognize the value in letting them fight their own battles. And when they triumph, they will be even stronger for the victory."

@Temporallube what i mean say you where at work for example and you saw a work mate who was quiet and timid and kept themselves too themselves and you had somebody who was a bully and picking on them would you or could you just stand back and say nothing

@smiler2012 I think I definitely see what you mean. It’s the messiah method. Save the downtrodden from their abuser. I actually subscribe to that for most of my life. But what Darth Kreia is intriguing.
Darth Kreia would probably say that individual should stand up for themselves.
And that if you intervened in that choice of that person overcoming that bully, you take away that special moment of them overcoming an obstacle that would have made them more assured and confident in who and what they are.
