If compassion makes the world better.. why does it make you an easy prey?

Sometimes I wonder if I preffer to be cold hearted but painless.. I'm sick of having those I love the most take advantage and destroy my inner core with the things they know how to use against me.. how can you claim to love someone when you are willing to use guilt and verbal abuse against them?

Worse part is.. why do I still care?

too many questions I know.. but damn!! I'm just sick of this compassion making me too human to get rid of what hurts me the most..

Trying to be cold hearted when you are a compassionate person will only make you unhappy not being your true self. We teach people how to treat us by not speaking up for ourselves and when we keep the hurt and anger inside and don't let them know how their actions and words have hurt us they continue to do it again and again. Then we want to change and not care anymore. Respect is what we all need and we need to respect the other person and be honest with them about what is acceptable and what is not. I learn't this the hard way but learn I did. :)

because not every person is worthy of compassion. There are those who struggle and compassion can assure a better future for them. Then again, there are others who condemn themselves by their actions and choices. When you exert compassion, you leave yourself vulnerable, because a lot of it is also trust. You can't trust everyone.
