If you don't prepare yourself to face problems in life and suddenly a problem arrived, then you will have to depend on your luck or the people around you to get around the problem.
A. 靠神不如靠人
The spirit stuffs e.g. ghosts/gods may or may not be present and is not 100% dependable. For example during the yearly haze period, in those 3 months none of the gods/ghosts/angels/fairies/devils have the power to defeat the human that are burning the forest.
It is advisable to build close relationship with family members and friends and help each other during difficult time.
B. 靠人不如靠己
In some cases, even your close friends & family members can't help you. In other cases, they can help but are unable to immediately help you.
So build up skills that can help you to handle different situations and emergency situations in life. Don't wait til it happen.
Save up some money. Exercise to build up strength and stamina. Tame your ego and learn to force yourself to smile in difficult situations.
If a smile can solve a problem, that is great. Else use money to solve it and avoid confrontation. If not, then either give it a good fight, or flee if you are weaker than the enemy.
1 defeat is just 1 defeat. The sun rises again the next morning. Everyone around you face defeat, very often, throughout their life.
If u learn a lesson from the defeat, u become wiser and more experience in life. You become a better and stronger person.

C.
If all things fail, just retreat & have a good rest. Time will pass and heal your wound. Time will always pass. Nobody can stop time. Just keep yourself busy at work and time will pass quickly without you knowing it.
君子报仇十年不晚
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Don't spend crazy amount of money to 'buy' protection or blessing from spirits/gods. They are just the ghost of dead people. In comparison, they are similar to the ghosts of your great grandparents.
靠神不如靠人，靠人不如靠己
