Ram Dass

 Sometimes it takes three breaths instead of two to do it, but you can do it. Be a little tougher and don't cling to stuff. People go around carrying everybody's stuff all of the time. I just pick it up and put it down. Pick it up and put it down. That doesn't mean I'm not compassionate, it doesn't mean I don't love people. But holding onto people's suffering is not compassionate... for them or for you.
