[QUOTE="Nomad, post: 320645"] The story is paraphrased from literature written by psychologist Susanna McMahon. She was writing mostly about self esteem and yes also about detachment. She talks about how we might want to help others in need for social reasons, but that it is important to keep in mind that others need to be willing to help themselves. Also, that we have choices in these matters and that if we make the choice to help we should feel good that we have done our part to help, but have healthy enough self esteem to then walk away from a situation that is detrimental to us.
