How it is I know not; but there is no place like a bed for confidential disclosures between friends.

I accept everyone as a friend. In truth, we already know one another, profoundly, as human beings who share the same basic goals: We all seek happiness and do not want suffering.
I try to treat whoever I meet as an old friend. This gives me a genuine feeling of happiness. It is the practice of compassion
