Words from Dalai Lama -receiving affection

"Compassion creates a positive, friendly atmosphere. With such an attitude, you can create the possibility of receiving affection or a positive response from someone else. If the other person doesn't respond to you in a positive way, your own feeling of openness gives you the flexibility and freedom to change your appro...ach as needed and still allows for the possibility of having a meaningful conversation with them." Dalai Lama
