Attachment, Hostility and Ignorance Attachment can also mean lust, desire and greed. Hostility can also mean hatred, anger and aversion. Ignorance can also mean delusion, confusion and stupidity. With loving-kindness and compassion, Darrell
Absolutely, that is very true! All three can lead to evil or sadness, both of which have the capacity to not only harm the self, but others as well. Good observation!
Let us not dwell on the poisons but the cures. Generosity or selflesness and altruism. Compassion Understanding or empathy. Blessings Sebbu
