Aversion may not be ‘another manifestation of greed’.

If a person hates someone, it is not because he loves somebody else. There is only aversion – and, not wanting to do harm to that person, and not wanting to harm oneself by vaci and mano sankhara, the desire is just to keep away. But this is not greed.

However, ‘Because of the perception of ‘I am’ suffering, this person wishes for the non-existent of that unpleasant experience.’still holds.
