Being Compassionate Yet Skillful
First of all, we should see to whom we are being compassionate. You cannot be compassionate to undeserving people. That is like taking advantage of your compassion. You need to see whether the people towards whom you are being compassionate really deserve it.
Secondly, give them training in ethics and integrity. Why do some people cheat? It is because they don't have a broader vision about life. It is because that is not in their education system at all. Insecurity comes out of lack of a value system. So a little bit of education about values can change the mindset of people to be more connected and honest. This is one thing.
Third, we should look into our own mind. Suppose we have had a bitter experience with three people, the fourth person will also get the same label before even doing something. Repeated bad experiences make us see things differently. We should not allow the past to color our present vision.
