It was interesting to observe my feelings as I did this form of compassion meditation. I observed whom I sincerely wished well (those I perceived to be less fortunate/attractive/talented than I), whom I actually wished the opposite of well (those I perceived to be more fortunate/attractive/talented than I), and whom I wished well in a rather distracted, artificial way (attractive women).

The most enlightening to me were the vast majority to whom I was indifferent. Most people didn’t elicit feelings in me one way or the other.
