The hardest part is the balance between protecting what is needed for you, your family, your team, whatever your plan is AND attempting to help others, sway them, have them learn, assist, and become self-sufficient on their own. Too many are reliant on others or the government for everything in their life. But this IS what we do. Not saying it would be easy if it goes that way, but it IS something we prepare for best we can.
