For Protector's chosen goal, Rootkeeper offers a possible perspective: Allowing established roots to support new directions. Use it only if that contribution is wanted and useful.
Begin with Protector's own practice: Pause before intervening and ask whether you are supporting or replacing someone's choice. Ask whether Rootkeeper's perspective offers useful support; it must not replace the recipient's goal.
