Well it’s an interesting question. I have compassion for people but I despise victim mentality and don’t tolerate moping and whining very well. One thing is being compassionate and another being enabler.

As about that person you asked to help your friend wuth electric bills, she is absolutely under no obligation to help other people to pay their electric bills. Most people would help their family but not someone just because they have kids.

Why do you expect this other person needs to pay someone else’s bills? There are organizations that help with electric bills. I don’t believe this has anything to do with compassion or lack of it. And I dint understand argument “but she has children”. So what. If one can not afford to provide electricity in their house, why do they have kids? Shouldn’t they fix their own life first? And why is this other person expected to foot the bill because someone else decided to have kids?

Why can’t this person pay her own electric bill?
