The Condor Heroes series I've been following dealt with this theme. The actions of the characters may without their knowledge help or hinder their allies and enemies. The world, as they say, is wide and full of strange things. Intent and outcome are rarely coincident, as someone told the King of Dreams. I think it's something to remember when we try to help those less fortunate. Good intentions don't cut it in this world we live in. If one is truly committed to being of use one needs to do the hard work in finding the real mechanism for assistance.
