as human beings, we have a responsibility to help our brothers or relatives who are really in trouble and need motivation, especially in difficult economic times like now, we have to listen patiently and also provide wise encouragement to those who are having difficulties or are facing problems. get back up and enthusiastic about carrying out their activities. just giving wise advice can sometimes help someone who is in trouble with a glimmer of hope.
We do not really have a responsibility like that. I get that we are going to end up with something that will feel not so great which is fine and understandable but that doesn't mean that we have to do it, even it feels like you want to, if you are not capable of doing that, then you shouldn't. I had a lot of periods in my life, when I had absolutely nothing, so I couldn't help someone I cared about, and when I had the money, I still didn't help many people in my life.
Only people I am willing to help, is my wife and my parents, that's it, three people, nobody else gets my attention, obviously I have no brothers or sisters, if they existed then maybe them, but even they would be questionable, whereas my wife and parents gets my help for sure, nobody else.
Each person's perspective, thoughts, and emotions are unique, and shaped by their experiences and nature. Empathy and sensitivity can be both a blessing and a curse, as you've observed. Having a soft heart allows you to deeply understand and connect with others, share their joys and sorrows, and offer comfort and support. However, it also makes you more vulnerable to emotional pain and potential harm.
I have also observed that soft-hearted people think for others more than themselves. So, sometimes it is good that you are thinking only for your family especially when you have less budget or can only do it for yourself so that your family and you live in comfort. But if you have so much that you can give to others, then I would prefer that helping is a good act, so we should help our relatives and the people around us.
