Om Swami
Does being compassionate mean I have to accept what someone did to me?
Compassion forgives without becoming a doormat
Compassion is about forgiving, but forgiving does not mean accepting what was done or reconciling. Hold nothing in your heart against the person, without becoming a doormat.
Forgiveness doesn't mean you accept what they do or have done to you. It's not reconciliation. It means you will not hold anything in your heart against this person.
