  9. The Art of Helping “If one is truly to succeed in leading a person to a specific place, one must first and foremost take care to find him where he is and begin there. This is the secret in the entire art of helping. Anyone who cannot do this is himself under a delusion if he thinks he is able to help someone else. In order truly to help someone else, I must understand more than he—but certainly first and foremost understand what he understands. If I do not, then my greater understanding does not help him at all. If I still intend to assert my greater understanding, then it is because I am vain or proud, and instead of benefiting him, I actually want to be admired by him. But all true helping begins with a humbling: The helper must first humble himself under the person he wants to help and thereby understand that to help is not to dominate but to serve, that to help is not to be the most dominating but the most patient, that to help is a willingness to, for the time being, put up with being in the wrong and not understanding what the other understands.” Søren Kierkegaard, Danish social philosopher, in ”A straightforward message” (1859)
