If only three times, recorded, does this suggest we need to be very reticient to become involved in situation which we are not directly involved in?
Absolutely! Even in these cases, Buddha had to be asked three times. A friggin' god had to convince him to even share the dhamma, so reticence is definitely called for. One of my teachers (also a Buddhist) even went so far as to say if she can't mediate a conflict without not owning it at all, she won't mediate (hence her belief in the need for mindful awareness practice by mediators). Impartiality is ethical rule number one for professional mediators (as a conduct guide, not ideal).
