I have always been accused of being 'too nice'.
Too forgiving. Too much a doormat.
Only what my accusers hardly understand is compassion.
I have a policy: Meet people where they are at.
Indeed, sometimes it has served me.
Sometimes I have been taken advantage of.
Sometimes there reciprocity.
Sometimes it's a dead end.
Knowing and learning, being able to recognize the signs.
Developing discernment, seeing the truth of people, and seeing the truth of myself.
I choose how I respond, nowadays.
The days of reacting unconsciously, or by route are long gone...
