Think about it. If the person is socially obtuse and just didn't recognize that they were abusing my hospitality, I've helped educate them. If they have a narcissistic sense of entitlement, I've not let their poor grasp of boundaries become my issue. If they are a bit mean spirited and hoped to take advantage of me, I've stopped them.

This quote came from the discussion thread of Joe's essay: What's Wrong with a Little Injustice? and is in reaction to the phenomenon of offering to buy lunch for someone, and then being taken to the cleaners due to an intentional or unintentional exploitation of your benevolence.

I especially liked the part about not letting other people set your boundaries for you, but rather developing the insight and moral courage to set them yourself.
