How can the act of helping someone not be both right and correct?

The problem with this statement is that is goes against logic. And what is logic but reason that is based on a sequence of facts or events when taken as a whole and based on our past experience we conclude to be true. So how in the world can we argue that when we help someone we have done not only a good deed, but the deed is both right and correct.

Is the act of giving a less fortunate person some change the right thing to do? Or would it be more correct to give that person the opportunity to earn for themselves?

It can be a hard decision. The first choice is simple and does not cause the giver to take accountability, while the second places the giver in a position of both acceptance for the sake of the receiver and accountability to any other person in a like situation. So is it better to be "Right or Correct"?
