If only it were that easy.
From the Associated Press's coverage of the Dalai Lama's visit to Rutgers University over the weekend:
As the Dalai Lama neared the end of his speech, he explored the difference between attachment and compassion, attachment being a selective connection shared by friends, he said, while compassion is an 'unbiased' act.
Nearby, a former flight attendant, Kathleen Davis, squealed. She had been taking notes on a pink piece of paper and pointed to the words 'attachment' and 'compassion'.
"That's it!" she said. "Its one or the other. I've got goose bumps."
He did seem to like the Key to the City of New York he received later in the day.

ugh.
what will the dalai lama want with the key to new york city?
he pa, under the settings, and then under comments, you should turn on word verification. they claim that it should reduce spammers. i don't know if it works, but it might be worth a try.
Thanks,
To post this comment, now I'm being asked to verify.
hmmm.
go ahead. make the leap to the other side. the side where attachment seems like a silly idea. then tell me what it is like. is there really anything to be afraid of? intuition says no. so what's afraid?
