Adosa with every kusala citta vs metta as an abiding

Adosa in another kusala = no wishing that the profit will arise to the others. Because kusala can't wish to do dosa, to damage, anyone, so while kusala arising, it is no dosa, adosa, although there is no wishing that the profit will arise to the others.

Adosa in metta = wishing that the profit will arise to the others. It is not just kusala arising, but it is kusala arising and wishing that the profit will arise to the others.

For more information see lakkhaṇādiccatukka of mettā and adosa in visuddhimagga, path of purification, bhrahmavihāraniddesa and paññāniddesa.
