+Compassion is not logical.  It’s basically spacious and generous.  A
+compassionate person might not be sure whether he is being compassionate to
+you or whether you are being compassionate to him, because compassion creates
+a total environment of generosity.  Generosity is implied; it just happens,
+rather than you making it happen.  It’s just there, without direction,
+without me, without “for them.” It’s full of joy, a spontaneously
+existing grin of joy, constant joy.
