If you think only of yourself, if you forget the rights and
well-being of others, or, worse still, if you exploit others,
ultimately you will lose. You will have no friends who will show
concern for your well-being. Moreover, if a tragedy befalls you,
instead of feeling concerned, others might even secretly
rejoice. By contrast, if an individual is compassionate and
altruistic, and has the interests of others in mind, then
irrespective of whether that person knows a lot of people,
wherever that person moves, he or she will immediately make
friends. And when that person faces a tragedy, there will be
plenty of people who will come to help. ~Dalai Lama, from
"The Dalai Lama's Book of Wisdom"
