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.

Equanimity is the key, as I am slowly learning. Thanks for the quote,Sukitlek. Very succinct, very useful.
Metta to all,
Bill
