This is a story of contradictions of a certain wise person.
Disclaimer: All quotes are indeed real and not exaggeration, in all their ridiculousness. Only the timeline is jumbled up. If it's not clear, calling the person "wise" is a sarcasm.
Knowing all the facts doesn't make you a smart person, much less a wise person.

It's true that we can't help the people who won't help themselves. Apparently, it's not true that when you teach someone how to fish, he'll be able to eat fish for the rest of his life.When he complained that he doesn't have enough fish to eat, you tell him about fishing. Then he'll complain that he doesn't know how to fish.When you show him how to fish and even give him a manual on it, he'll complain that he doesn't have the bait.When you show him where and how to get the bait, he'll complain that he doesn't know where to fish.When you show him the good places to fish, he'll say he's too tired or not good enough at fishing to catch some fish.So what's left to do is just to push him into the sea.
