How even words themselves contain both desire and aversion

The nine thoughts that can stir up malice according to the Buddha
Why we personalize situations which are impersonal
Opening up to aversion as simply a noted mind-state
Arousing the investigative aspect of the mind

Taking responsibility for our aversions
The development of loving-kindness and wishing-well to all beings

“Really what we’re doing here is illuminating the shadow side of our mind, the aspects that we don’t usually see, the underground, the latent tendencies in which the milder forms of aversion are rooted.” – Joseph Goldstein
