A baby has to be pampered to survive. They cry, they rant, it's hard, but they have to assert themselves and express themselves.
What about adults? Sometimes they cry and rant all the time, but they make their own decisions and act on their own...that's normal.
But sometimes you need to be lenient. You need to beg for help from others for things you can't do or don't understand. Is this normal?
But it is difficult to find the right timing and the right amount of pampering. Some people don't like it when they are too pampered, and others miss out on opportunities because they can't be pampered.
The spirit of self-help has been propagated by Westerners since the Meiji era with the development of capitalism, and recently in Japan, it has been pushed in a different form as a policy through Abenomics.

Also, most of the people in the established religions in Japan seem to be only interested in making money, so you should never take advantage of them.
