Ordinary Love and Compassion






Ordinary love is biased and mixed with attachment. Like other afflicted emotions, attachment is based not on reality but on mental projection. It exaggerates reality. In reality there may be some good there, but attachment views it as one hundred percent beautiful or good. Compassion gets closer to reality. There is a vast difference.

---His Holiness the Dalai Lama---
