What does a bleeding heart really mean?????

Question

And why would this be a bad thing to be????

Answer 1

You willingly give your blood sweat and tears to someone who is too lazy to do for themselves.

Answer 2

heartbroken(:

Answer 3

It's funny how the term, "bleeding heart" is applied to those who seem to have no heart.

Answer 4

...'bleeding heart tetra'

....constantly pouring forth, 'emotively', expressions concerning values associated with the quality of life within the environment and among those inhabitants who share the tank water together

....these little guys are also 'known' for their 'bubbly personalities'

Answer 5

The term is usually applied to liberals - a "bleeding hearted liberal," which, in the US indicates a person that is so very involved in the well-being of others that it seems to impact themselves.  They "cry" so hard for others, that their heart is weeping tears of blood in sympathy.

Whether this is a bad thing or not depends upon the person.  Some believe that the concept of being very concerned for others is a wonderful thing, while others believe that people should be more concerned for themselves FIRST - THEN deal with others.

Your mileage may vary.
