That symbol looks like a certain virus...
Displays of weakness through being kind or charitable or forgiving are frequently met with contempt. Many westerners who may or may not be Christian in their temperament like I am (I'm a non believer but have a general Christian culture ethos. But not to the point of delusion like many western Christians do.)
The big problem with this thinking until you realize it is that resentful haters don't see your kindness, charitable or forgiving nature in a positive light, they see it as a means to have contempt for your gullibility. They will then secretly or openly hate you and abuse you. If you listen closely to what these people are saying they are clearly exposing their hate and contempt in which there is absolutely nothing you can do short of separation.
But even with separation they will still hound you relentlessly for resources because in their minds they will never let go of the idea that you somehow owe them something. It is impossible to buy them off, to try to do so will only further their contempt and animus for you, and cause them to keep pounding the idea that you owe them something.
If you are sane and competent you will realize that the only way to deal with these people is through an immovable position of "no, not doing that". That is the only thing that works and forces people to respect you. It is only through absolute respect that people can fairly deal with each other but you must establish the respect first. If you fail to do that you are either a useful idiot and fool or you are a traitor to everything you hold dear.
As a side note, the astute among you will recognize their behaviors match a certain other group who uses your western nature against you. I'll leave it at that...
