If you are strong, it is your place to shoulder the burden of others, until they are able to shoulder it themselves. If you are wise, it is your place to foster enlightenment. If you are intelligent, it is your place to teach. In so doing, those you have helped, as once you were, are then responsible for doing the same for others, thus lightening the weight you must carry in the world, because of those blessings.
Total self-sufficiency is a myth propagated by those who do not wish to share their own blessings, whether out of ignorance or selfishness. We are all helped, daily, by those around us, even if we don't realize it. We were raised, we were educated, if we fall, there are those will are willing and able to catch us, for as long as we need it. If everyone gave a little, it would not be an unreasonable burden for anyone.
