Having a hard time feeling charitable

Just going to speak bluntly.

I have a few people in my life who made miserable decisions and are now dealing with the consequences.

Having a child before marriage, drugs, pornography addiction (like, actual addiction. Spending tons of money pay for it), picking bad boyfriends, etc.

It all stems back to them choosing to not live the gospel.

For twenty years, they were taught day and night that living the gospel brings joy and sinning bring sorrow. For twenty years they ignored it.

Now these people are dealing with mental disorders, single parenthood, homelessness, inability to hold down a job, etc.

For five or so years, I was rooting for them, talking with them about their struggles. But things only got worse. I’ve slowly emotionally distanced myself from the whole thing.

Yesterday, I saw a YTshort of a woman in the similar situation. She was a single mom that had made similar mistakes and was complaining about how hard life was. My gut reaction was “duh! Play stupid games win get stupid rewards”

I know Christ is in a same position with me. I make stupid mistakes and he wants me to stop… but that information has yet to do much for my attitude.

Thoughts?

How common is this and how do I avoid it in the future?

To clarify. My close rates with this company that fired me was 25-30%. But they weren’t working all the leads, and hence not making the money they wanted

I generate leads for a few service companies in my town. Over the last year, I lost two clients because they weren't seeing a return. In speaking to them, I discovered that one was only callings through the newest leads once a week. The other would only call 3-5 a day while I was providing ~10 a day.

Is this common? How do you fix it?
