Problems don't beg for help. People do.

And in this general scenario, you are assuming that you are being begged for help every time someone describes a problem to you. Literally, they are not. Maybe they are implying that request; maybe they are communicating something else instead.

I assure you that your general assumption is false, sometimes.
