What Is It You Want?

Universal responsibility is feeling for other people’s suffering just as we feel for our own.  It is the realization that even our enemy is entirely motivated by the quest for happiness.  We must recognize that all human beings want the same thing we want.
—    The XIV Dalai Lama
[A noble sentiment, but what if our enemy’s happiness can only be achieved by our destruction or subjugation?  What if they don’t want the same things we want (assuming we want peaceful coexistence)?    —     kmab]
