East vs West

"It is not from the benevolence of the butcher, the brewer, or the baker that we expect our dinner, but from their regard to their own self-interest. We address ourselves, not to their humanity but to their self-love, and never talk to them of our own necessities but of their advantages."

Adam Smith

"What is the key to untie the knot of the mind’s suffering? Benevolent
thought, sound and movement."

Hafiz
