The chapter that brought out this phrase is about outpatient care of adult children of the affluent. Back in the Philippines if one is born rich or with a silver spoon we say they are lucky.

Weakening the weak means instead of strengthening somebody by helping out by way of shouldering their first rental by the time they live on their own or continually giving money even if they already have their own family they instead grow dependent on that support which they expect to come. It is like your mother giving you money even if you are already working thus it creates that thinking of yours that it is okay to not save up because financial help is always accessible.
