Okay, I'll bite. Which one received more help? I'm guessing the one who got off his knees and did something about his situation?
But then what help was actually provided if the guy did it himself?
I don't really want to argue for religion here. The way I comprehended the story was basically telling people to not be the ones described by OP.
But if you really want to go into the interpretation stuff: I guess if you wanted to argue for a god, god made sure the cart broke down next to a wood with a tree roughly the right dimensions? Here we are with the part where religion can't really be proven or disproven. Was it luck, was the whole road just forest..?
You're not arguing for religion, don't worry. I don't believe in gods but I was raised by religious people and the whole point of most faiths, the way I was thought, was to pray for help, for strength, inspiration, etc. not for the problem to magically go away.
