Why over-helping leads to failure
from Sunulife INSIGHTS Hosted by Sunulife
Sunulife explores the complex dynamics of mutual aid within the diaspora, highlighting the figure of the mentor who guides newcomers. The author underlines the emotional exhaustion of these caregivers who carry the hopes of others, while warning against the dangers of an overly intrusive generosity. Paradoxically, this assistance can become an obstacle to empowerment when the project of success no longer belongs to the one executing it. Thus, abandoning a path is not a lack of willpower, but a reaction to the humiliation of recognition processes and a vital need to reclaim one's own trajectory. Ultimately, success only has value if it is the result of a personal choice rather than the repayment of a moral debt toward a protector.
