This would intake process of contemplation: of how long do you feed them for in lack of quantification until they are not hungry, what means can you give them after to feed themselves both over the result of doing nothing where you insult the direction of your very existence, the audacity factor.
Quantifying your direction from where you were to where you are without the quality being present.
Refusing to qualify the good or bad of it,
This is recognition by prior self in a direction of motion through time and space eternal interacting by uncertainty and to vectors unlimited.
Doing what has to be done but not for self.

How do we really know what has to be done?
How much can we rely on the accuracy of the information that informs our contemplations? (I'm not holding you to your 'contemplations' here because I realise they were given just as a generalised example and I'm sure you would research properly when necessary).
However the reality of giving food to someone who is starving - to put it bluntly - it is USELESS.
Definition - Starvation
Dying for lack of food.....Starvation is the result of a severe or total lack of nutrients needed for the maintenance of life.
The starving person is a "dying" person....(who can sometimes be saved) but solid food is useless at the starvation stage because the body is no longer is able to absorb nutrients. Ideally treatment would begin by introvenous feeding gradually introducing liquids and then solids to diet. This is not to say the person can necessarily restore full health either because the physiological damage from starvation can be irrepairable.
The point of saying all this is to illustrate how - Doing what has to be done - (no matter how sefllessly) is still subjected to highly fallible quantifications and qualifications....and if our "assumptions/information" is incorrect then our actions will be also.
What safe-guards are there to ensure the qualifications and quantifications are true representations of reality....reality as you say not 'good or bad'.....but reality in terms of what has to be done.
