IDIOT COMPASSION is the highly conceptualized idea that you want to do good....Of course, [according to the mahayana teachings of Buddhism] you should do everything for everybody; there is no selection involved at all. But that doesnt mean to say that you have to be gentle all the time. Your gentleness should have heart, strength. In order that your compassion doesnt become idiot compassion, you have to use your intelligence. Otherwise, there could be self-indulgence of thinking that you are creating a compassionate situation when in fact you are feeding the other persons aggression. If you go to a shop and the shopkeeper cheats you and you go back and let him cheat you again, that doesnt seem to be a very healthy thing to do for others. Chogyam Trungpa
