"Ultimately, people are good because of who they are; goodness is a quality of being. Once we have made this discovery we stop measuring people by their achievements. We expect goodness as part of their essence, and of ours. When this happens, we no longer expect a reward for doing good. We no longer bestow love when people are good to us and withdraw it when they are bad. Instead LOVE becomes a constant in our lives. It just is."

Deepak Chopra, The Path to Love
