Along with love, compassion is the face of
altruism. It is a feeling from deep in the heart that you cannot bear others
suffering without acting to relieve it. As compassion grows stronger, so does
your willingness to commit yourself to the welfare of all beings, even if you
have to do it alone. You will be unbiased in your service to all beings, no
matter how they respond to you.
Dalai Lama
