If you really want to help other people
to abandon suffering
turning confusion into wisdom,
be patient.
Compassion without patience,
is as useless as wisdom
without skilful means
or a car without gas.
Compassion without wisdom
turns into masochism.
Patience without intelligence
turns into permissiveness.
Faith without intelligence
degenerates into fanaticism;
Intelligence without compassion
turns into cunningness.
