No, Puppy, you're absolutely right. I am rescuing. Or, if not "rescuing," then certainly tossing a life-ring from the stern of my ship as it passes her in the night.
And why not? She's a fine person, all else being equal. I love her.
I get that. But sometimes when you love someone, you let them squirm a little if you know it will help them grow, no?
Wouldn't it do her more good if you let her learn how to SWIM better, than to toss her a LIFE RING?
