Quote #10
"In business, people negotiate to win. They negotiate to get what they want. Maybe you're too used to that. Love is different. Love is when you are as concerned about someone else's situation as you are about your own." (24.58)
Morrie defines compassion as caring about other people just as much as you'd care about yourself. This is totally different from doing business, where you try to get the most out of the situation for your own benefit. The sad thing is that most people live their lives like they're working at a job, trying to gain something from others rather than giving selflessly.
