Love and hatred arise uncontrollably

"If you view things through your ego, then love and hatred arise uncontrollably and you cannot avoid indulging feelings. When you indulge feelings, then you are being subjective. When you are subjective, you are ignorant. When you are ignorant, you are mixed up and confused; you are only aware of yourself, not of principle."

— from "The Cultivation of Realization," translated by Thos. Cleary
