Here is a case where, to alleviate the suffering we are witnessing, the best thing to do is to do nothing.
Because, and I have the feeling that this is more often the case than it seems, if we put in place everything we can think of to alleviate this primary suffering, the level of secondary suffering (consequently), physical, and psychological, would ultimately be much greater than that which we are trying to alleviate.
Non-action is then the path to greatest compassion.
I wonder: isn’t this secondary suffering, greater than primary suffering, a path of learning wisdom, a path of practice?
On the contrary, isn’t it what will turn us away from practice, wisdom, by exhausting us, by requiring all the resources we will no longer be able to invest in the path?
Action is then the path to greatest wisdom.
Action, non-action,
Acting from non-action, wisdom and compassion,
How far should we go in action?
How far should we go in non-action?
The pitfall of action is exhaustion, through attachment to the outcome
The pitfall of non-action is detachment,
Action, non-action,
Acting from non-action,
Neither attachment nor detachment,
Leave all these questions of action and non-action there.
Notes & Silence 
One issue is that to choose to do nothing is to do something.
Maybe, the point is, somehow, to not choose.
