COMPASSION

In some ways, it’s what’s called enabling. 
It’s the general tendency to give people what they want 
because you can’t bear to see them suffering. 
Basically, you’re not giving them what they need. 
You’re trying to get away from your feeling 
of I can’t bear to see them suffering.
In other words, you’re doing it for yourself. 
You’re not really doing it for them.
