And I agree with what you said.

My view is empathy and compassion are what each of us need to give, to provide, but not to the point of us being taken advantage of.

When I am having a tough time, and I can't sleep because of it, I think of a time I helped someone. Not of something I gave them to help them, but rather, I think of a time I really pulled someone out of a dark place.

That calms me, and I then sleep like a baby.

Empathy and compassion does more for us than it does for the person we provided it to.
