Please do as I requested, only if you can do so with the joy of a little child feeding a hungry duck. 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 if you will feel shameful. And certainly do not do as I request out of any sense of duty or obligation.
