+Compassion and generosity must be accompanied by detachment.  Expecting
+something in return for them is like doing business.  If the owner of a
+restaurant is all smiles with his customers, it is not because he loves them
+but because he wants to increase his turnover.  When we love and help others,
+it should not be because we find a particular individual likable but because
+we see that all beings, whether we think of them as friends or enemies, want
+to be happy and have the right to happiness.
