nothing wrong with feeling so deeply. If i cry every time i see a homeless person so be it. Maybe i should cry. Jesus cried. He wasn't
weak. Just maybe i should work at food bank or something instead of bringing them home lol.

LOL Yes definately don't bring them home...although I did that once myself and could not get her out of the apartment. Yes we have to take care of ourselves and not put ourselves in any danger. Some of those things can be life threatening and we need to be very careful that our sensitivity towards others does not hurt us....Again as you have mentioned we need concrete boundries to protect ourselves
