Over-Compassion

{Ahem} things aren't going too well.
How can i put this in words, ya can say that i fell out of the zen track because of a few events happening over the last few months. Most of it related to the last few roommates i have had over the apartments i have been at. Certain persons i have trusted haven't paid their share of the rent on multiple occasions making it hard for me and others to keep living our nice corners without adding more of our savings in the pool. And guess why? Video games and more material delights, some people really consider those more important than having a place to live or food on their table. Can ya believe it? So a couple of months of that and it was time to go since we wouldn't constantly pay for other people's share. I thought things would get better from there and got a roommate that i met at a nearby commune, who needed some help while in town before going back to his girlfriend in mexico in a few months. The scene started alright, most of the times things were good between us but then things started getting sour.
Constant pot smoking, nearly getting kicked out because of neighbors filing complains on the weed smell, lack of sleep due to constant loud typing on cityville, nonstop skype chatting without headphones and loud speakers, constantly borrowing my cell for long distance calls or calling family and no respect for other's good sleeping schedule.
I want to help people and make people happy but i somewhat realize that some people just CANT be helped now that i have learned that the current roommate's job is actually begging in the metro for more money than i would make in a week's worth. I don't understand the kind of people who would live off other's kindness. Its slightly irritating, considering that most of us on this site work, draw and push ourselves to meet our goals.
After all this, ill stay away from people for a bit, only 3 more weeks of this then its back to life i guess and a lesson learn which i wont forget in a long, long time.
So be careful everyone, people aren't always who they seem to be and compassion can also be abused by such people. We just need to pick and choose our moments of compassion carefully and realize when we are susceptible to get abused.
Onward then !
