Is your opinion that we should just accept that others are starving and that that is their catalyst to deal with?
The way I interpret that Ra quote is that if you come across someone who is starving, offer them food. You don't force feed them. If they accept the food feed them. If they don't, let it go. In either case, don't be attached to the outcome; in other words, let them have their catalyst. But it is catalyst for you too to come across this starving entity, so to do nothing is to not utilize the catalyst. The key is not being attached to outcome, while having empathy and compassion.
