Loving or Metta without Equanimity (upekkha) may transform to Lust.
Compassion (karuna) without Equanimity may transform to Sadness.
Joy (mudita) without Equanimity may transform to Envy.

Very helpful description Sukitlek. I guess it comes down to how mindful we are of our own motives etc.

Anyone got any other thoughts on this?
