If you, Adonai, were walking down the street, and came across someone who was starving and dying, would you offer them aid?
Yes because I would inherently value that person as my own. They have a right to my aid because I love them. Most people would do the same.
As for what I said: Others may not inherently value me as their own and that is their right. I still do not believe anybody is obligated to serve me under any circumstance.
So what if that person you were attempting to offer aid to rejected you, because they claimed unworthiness? How would you feel then?
However, as to answer your question, I would be astonished. I would assess if this was truly the man's will or if he was mentally diseased. I would leave him food or money regardless.
