Tarik,

From my point of view, being compassionate is a life-long quest. Being prepared to listen to others and see things from their point of view. Helping them when they are ready to be helped. But always trying to be sensitive to their needs and wishes.

How much is too much? Well, that also brings up the need to be compassionate to oneself. I can’t help others if I’m in a bad way.

So I don’t think any amount of compassion is too much, so long as it is balanced between compassion for others and compassion for self.

There’s more I could say, but that’s my answer for now now and it will have to suffice.

Thanks for asking.

Keith
