Me too, I have seen in the hands of people I trust.
I used to be a trusting fool. Thought everyone had like my heart. My dad once told me am too damn kind-hearted. My mum had to travel from the the village to meet me in the city, she was crying and almost nelt down begging me not to go the way of my dad who too was foolishly kind-hearted all his life, and was the victim of repeated betrayals by close relatives. I had to convince her that I will change my ways. Still till now, I find it difficult to hurt or get back at people who have betrayed me. People now know that I cannot afford to hurt them no matter what. I cannot even secretly pray against my enemy or someone openly working against me. Sometimes I cry alone to God wondering why he created me in this manner.
This days i just try to avoid people as much as possible as almost everybody is a suspect
You don't need to feel bad God made you this way, believe me there are few people like you all over the world. You feel people's emotions ( pain and joy) that's why you find it difficult to hurt them, you often consider other people's feelings before yours. However, you must realize:
1) We are in a selfish world: the action of 90% of human are based on their own selfishness or personal gains irrespective of who they are to you
2) you are one of a kind: there are only few good hearted people in this world. So don't expect other people to act or behave like you. Their mindset is entirely different. This will help you anticipate their actions and save you from getting hurt.

Hello guys, I will mention two mistakes that cost me alot in life, though I finally overcame them by God's grace....

One of the mistakes was visiting a fake church whose pastor looked "anointed" and profitable. That stuff ruined my life so much, but I recovered again and am wise..

Another mistake was my continued dating of a girl my spirit rejected.. This caused me terrible emotional stuff, but I am pretty fine now by God's grace.

Charman you fit kindly elaborate on what the Pastor did to you?

She's actually a very young, pretty lady ( 17+years) then, and I didn't waste her time.....
She actually lured me with the marriage proposal which I later turned down after seeing through her diabolic intents...
She also accused me of killing her babies (via abortions) I personally regret that though.

He said crypt not btc, actually I think he is talking about shitcoins, which could crash the next day, but if it is bitcoin or section, at least he will still have a huge part remaining

Lol. A lot of coins pop up everyday and the beliefs that it could rise has made quite a number of people invest huge sums hoping another btc is lurking just around the corner for a big cashout. All these coins hardly rise above past $3. Life is a risk though and you never know which coin would do well in the long run, even if you read every every. I hope that's not his case, though.

Yeah, the above is so true. Perfectly correct. But I think that one of the most difficult battle in life is the fight to recondition ur heart. This has been the most difficult for me.

Homeandaway:
I helped a colleague at work. housed and fed her because her residence was far and commuting to and fro work daily was difficult and costly for her. She robbed me blind. My laptop, Iphone and money. Laptop had all my lifeswork, manuscripts, soundtracKs, screenplays, travel documents and saved passwords. She claimed to be ill on a workday, so she stayed home while i went to work. The rest is history.

Never take a work colleague, stranger, acquaintance, church member or even friend to your house. it never ends well.

Keep your relationships at arms length. Trust NOBODY

A welder doing work for me in one of my sites did the same to me.
He left unannounced and went with my spraying machine 68k, start and weld machine 250k, Fireman generator 150k.
This happened few months ago and I am yet to recover from it.

I took money from my grandma's purse in the market as a kid. She wouldn't have even complained. She pampered me really.
As if that was not enough, I went ahead and buy biscuit in the market square. Then I was hiding from people who could recognise me.
Believe me, I didn't know when I hit my face on the Town Council building wall in the market. Blood was gushing out profusely.
The indelible mark is still on my face to this day.
