You know, for an agnostic poster this is pretty enlightened sounding stuff.I am thinking something along the lines of "Blessed are the peacemakers".
Compassion and sensitivity are positive qualities and do not cease being so because some people will take advantage or see it them as weaknesses.
It is much easier to allow the hate and mistreatment of others to change you and make you harder.
I admire the fact you are the way you are and caring as much as do is not a character flaw.
Value those who appreciate you as you are.

Martin Luther King and the folks in the Equal Rights Movement in the 1960s used non-violent protest in the face of extreme violence and hatred, and WON. They won because it was clear to most everyone who witnessed the clash on TV and in real life understood that the non-violent protesters were far, FAR stronger in every way than the hate-filled thugs that were beating on them.
Don't be deceived. There is great strength and power in being a compassionate peace-maker. But that power lies in the clarity and righteousness of purpose. It takes faith and wisdom that's strong as steel.
