Yes. Wanting compensation for your loss and hoping the other person will be able to take responsibility do not conflict. Recognizing their difficulties does not mean giving up the compensation you are entitled to. It can also mean hoping that the matter can be resolved smoothly.

Dao Xuan once shared that a drunk driver damaged her car while it was parked by the roadside and initially left the scene. She explained what had happened to Lord Bao, hoping that the person could be found and the consequences dealt with. The driver later went to the police station to give an account. When discussing compensation in installments, the driver also mentioned that the pandemic had affected work and made it difficult to raise the money.

Dao Xuan needed her car for transportation, and the other victims also faced difficulties involving their families and work. But if the driver could never produce the money, no one's problems could be resolved. So Dao Xuan prayed to Lord Bao again, hoping the driver could raise the money smoothly and pay as agreed. You can attend to your own needs while also being considerate of someone else.

After praying, you still need to continue handling the practical matters. You cannot skip contacting the person, confirming dates, and finding out how the money is coming along, then simply sit at home waiting for it to arrive. In this experience, Dao Xuan drew support from her faith while continuing to make contact and handle the compensation. She was doing both.
