The trustworthy guardian is a person that can be relied on in difficult circumstances, one who will always show sympathy and offer help when they are needed. A consistent practice of being a trustworthy guardian is difficult due to several dilemmas. One concerns the question if support is due only to the deserving or also to the despicable characters. After all, by aiding a blameworthy character one becomes an accomplice to his malice. Another dilemma is if one should favour the nearest and dearest, or whether one should be impartial between those whom he loves and hates. Finally a trustworthy guardian may be torn between following the strongest ethical impulse and the desire to act efficiently. Kotarbinski valued efficiency very high, and made specific recommendation for its practice in a theory which he called praxiology.
