Why do you feel attachment and aversion, and where do they come from? Fundamentally, their origin lies in the idea you have of being a truly existing individual. Once that idea is present, you develop all kinds of concepts, such as "my body", "my mind", "my name". You identify with these three things, and whatever seems agreeable to them, you cling to it. Whatever is unpleasant or repugnant to them, you want to be rid of it. The slightest suffering, such as being pricked by a thorn or being hit by a spark from the fire, upsets you. If someone wrongs you, you retaliate by doing them as much harm as possible. The minutest good action you might do for others fills you with pride. As long as this self-cherishing attitude remains deeply anchored in your being, there is no way you will be able to reach enlightenment. The idea of being a truly existing individual is ignorance at its most basic level, from which all the other negative emotions arise.
