I think the concept here is to help those who cannot help their selves. So I am with you. We help and protect the weak.
Well, yes ... maybe.
My greatest and highest responsibility is to my wife if I have one and kids if I have them.
Where does the risk I place them in, risk of losing their father / husband / provider by losing either my life or my freedom to prison, or risk losing the roof I put over their heads to a jury award by standing up for someone else besides them?
You may be right but I think it is irresponsible not to think of my ability to meet my existing obligations before taking on a new one. Does this come into your thinking as well? Your wife might want to know where she fits in your priorities, whether you even think of her at all before acting precipitously for others.
