You must not hate those who do wrong or harmful things; but with compassion, you must do what you can to stop them โ for they are harming themselves, as well as those who suffer from their actions.
Dalai LamaOur life depends on others so much that at the root of our existence is a fundamental need for love. That is why it is good to cultivate an authentic sense of responsibility and concern for the welfare of others.
Dalai LamaThere is no denying that consideration of others is worthwhile and that our happiness is inextricably bound up with the happiness of others. There is no denying that if society suffers, we ourselves suffer, and the more our hearts and minds are afflicted with ill-will, the more miserable we become. We can reject religion, ideology, received wisdom, but we cannot escape the need for love and compassion.
Dalai Lama
