There are two sentences using に following 人情 that are confusing to me (both
from Wanikani).

> 人情の温かさに 生かされています。(I survive on the warmth of humanity)

and

> コウイチ様は 人情味に あふれている すばらしいお方 ですが、ビエト様は ひとかけらの人情 もない ごく 悪ヤクザ です。(Koichi-sama is
> such a wonderful person with deep empathy, but Viet is such a devilish
> yakuza with not one atom of humanity.)

My guess is either indication or purpose (but 人情/人情の温かさ are not verbs), or
indication of location (not sure if abstract location like 'humanity' is
possible).

particle-に
Usage of に in the following sentence
The first に is a marker for the "doer" of a passive verb. 生かされる is the passive
form of the transitive verb 生かす ("to keep someone alive").

> 人情の温かさ **に** 生かされています。  
>  I am kept alive **by** the warmth of humanity.

The second に is "(filled) with" or "(full) of". It's one of the particles you
can use with あふれる, 満ちる, etc. Both ～にあふれる and ～であふれる are used, but the former
tends to be used with intangible things like 笑顔, 人情味, etc.

> コウイチ様は人情味 **にあふれている** すばらしいお方です。  
>  Mr. Koichi is a wonderful person **full of** humanity.
