    It's taking me a long time to learn, that just because one has empathy for others - even those who may have hurt one in the past or recent present - that making the assumption that everyone else feels the same, can get the empathetic person in all kinds of trouble. Be the kind, compassionate person you are, but don't let others who are not, repeatedly use your trusting nature against you, and slowly crush your spirit.
