Answer:
Actually, no. Not at all.
A variety of people, mostly opponents of providing any help at all, would like us all to think that they can, but there’s no truth in it.
Think things through mechanically: if you decide to see to it that injured people get help, and someone who is not injured asks for help as well, does that defeat you?
The only honest answer, is “only if you decide to let it defeat you.”
In other words, if your goal is NOT to help the injured, but instead, is to just put on a show of pretending to be willing to help, and you decide in advance that you’ll extend your helping hand only once, regardless of how many need help…then indeed, you will stop putting your show on, as soon as one person takes your hand…even if the real hurt people are still waiting.
Thus, the people who misuse free services only “defeat the achievement of ideals,” if the people who pretend to support those ideals, really don’t support them after all.
Sorry, but those who try to play the game of blaming some “undeserving” of the people helped, for the fact that they are going to cut EVERYONE off to punish the “undeserving” ones, are entirely dishonest.
