Hand feeding the birds

Hand feeding the Birds. Marshall Rosenberg, developer of the process of Nonviolent Communication, is fond of saying: "Please do as I request — only if you can do so with the joy of a little child feeding a hungry duck."
( http://www.cnvc.org/downlds/20020802.mp3 ) In this video, I could restate this thought as: "Please do as I request, — only if you can do so with the joy of a little child feeding a hungry flock of birds!"

More Rosenberg quotes:
Please do not do as I request if there is any taint of fear of punishment if you don't.
Please do not do as I request to buy my love, that, is hoping that I will love you more if you do.
Please do not do as I request if you will feel guilty if you don't.
Please do not do as I request if you will feel shameful.
And certainly do not do as I request out of any sense of duty or obligation.
