As your likes and dislikes become stronger, as your identifications become stronger with one thing or another, all that you are doing is excluding existence. If I say, "I like this very much," in a big way I am excluding the rest of existence at that moment. So the stronger it becomes, the deeper the exclusion becomes.

And they can trap you in the in-between, between touching and becoming. But they're not necessarily evil, unless you let them be.
