Question

someone help me pls i need help on it thank you

Answer 1

Protecting others lies far beyond your own personal desire to be there for the ones that you love. There should be a conversation about if the other person feels like they need the protection that you have to offer. There are some situations (like abuse, neglect, violence) where there is an interpersonal conflict that may arise when you do not protect the victim. In these situation the value of protecting those who do not have the ability or courage to protect themselves is great.

If the motive behind protecting another person lies in jealousy or fear of injury without proper proof of danger it may be more of a selfish act in regard to your own personal ego.

Answer 2

Instead of giving you the direct answers, I will give you something that will help you find your own.

I think it would help to think about both perspectives (of those who protect others and those who are being protected). From the prospective of those who protect others, you can ask yourself, "What kinds of things might they be protecting people from (crime, dangerous habits/behavior/experiences, people they should not be around, other things that may cause them physical/emotional/mental harm)? Why might they want to protect others (sense of duty, obligation, guilt, etc.?)" Also, consider to what extent they may be willing to go to protect others (is it interfering with their lives or well-being?) On the other hand, from the perspective of the people being protected, you can ask, "Do they even know about the 'protection'? If so, how might they feel? (is it appreciated or annoying to them?) If not, could it interfere with their lives? How? Do they think it is necessary to be protected? Why or why not?"
