16.16

"Fifth, regarding impartiality toward enemies and kin: one should arouse a mind of loving-kindness and compassion toward all sentient beings, free from notions of other and self. Why is that? If one sees enemies as different from kin, that is discrimination; through discrimination, attachments to thoughts arise; with attachment to thoughts as condition, the afflictions arise; with afflictions as condition, unwholesome karma is created; with unwholesome karma as condition, painful results are obtained.
