This is some great words. i think that this is a great way to spend your life. doing things for others.

although there is a difference on compassion and enabling others, in what you think would be good for them.
what do you think of this? as it has been a thought of mine for a while but i have not had much opprotunity to talk about this idea.

thank you for your time and i hope that you have a good one!

Well, "enabling" is a whole different kettle of fish as it usually involves affirming negative behavior... helping doesn't have to mean we protect someone from the consequences of their choices. Sometimes the most compassionate thing we can do is to allow another to fail and experience their failure... to they can grow from rebuilding their toxic belief systems.
