I have used this quote often: "there is a fine line between compassion and enablement." I think to protect my heart. Of course, this is specific and considering addictive behaviors and tendencies.
After re-listening to the beautiful lecture on compassion from 7/29, I am questioning this verbiage of "enabling" others that we hear often in therapy groups. I do meditate on this, often, but is there a direct quote about this topic? ?

I have no direct quote for this, but this thread has a reply that gives an example of negative enablement:

Karma is paid not only for the evil that is done, but also for the good that could be done yet is left undone.
