Now we have to consider--if we want to increase the basic good attitude --that the type of closeness that we have for the class of our own friends is very small and it cannot be extended forever. What we have to do,however,is to change it and increase and extend it.New we,our friends and all living beings,are alike in wanting happiness and in not wanting suffering and to gain happiness. On the basis of these equalities, you are only one whereas others are infinite in number. ....His Holiness the Dalai Lama
