Excellent post. I've come to the exact same conclusion as you with regards to offering assistance to others. I realized it was not only futile but also even detrimental to attempt to intervene in people's processes, so I just keep my distance and stand at the ready if anyone approaches me. It's an attitude that I've applied in many aspects of my life, not just alternative medicine and spirituality, and it's been really effective at all levels. Of course, I'd love to share my knowledge with everybody because I've extracted enormous benefits from it and I'm sure others would as well, but alas...
Thanks for sharing this! Blessings!
