對於一部份的人來說，慈悲的想法意味著完全無視或甚至犧牲自己的利益。但事實並非如此，實際上，你首先必須要有讓自己快樂的願望 — — 如果你不愛你自己，你怎麼能愛別人？

It seems that for some people the idea of compassion entails a complete disregard for or even a sacrifice of their own interests. This is not the case. In fact, you first of all have to have a wish to be happy yourself – if you don’t love yourself like that, how can you love others?
