Worldly Feelings

Attraction and aversion are two feelings that keep
people within the bondage of ignorant repetative
behavior.  Those who seek only what pleases them
and try to avoid what displeases them are acting in
this way because they do not realize the nature of
the world.  For those who know the nature of the
world, lack of complete satisfaction or fulfillment
in things of the world is in itself advice to
cultivate detachment.  If people do not crave to be
pleased, they will not be displeased.  What causes
mental suffering is not the environment itself but
the mind itself.
