Via Daily Dharma: City Living

Living in a big city, sometimes we feel that we don’t know our neighbors but actually we know them well. They want pleasure and don’t want pain. This realization of similarity is not superficial; to know that each of us has hairs in the nose means we can always know something about others by reflecting on that fact. 

—Jeffrey Hopkins, "Equality: The First Step in Cultivating Compassion"
