Self Serving interest shapes up your attitude.
Example of a CAT
Once an enlightened man asked his followers -
Why does a person like a cat?
Some said - it is domesticated animal, subservient to the family.
One fellow pragmatically quipped - It keeps the rat menace away.
Then, the seer asked - Why does one hate a cat?
Pat came the reply - Because, it annoys people, when it gulps the milk or eats chicken, reserved for human consumption and also kills the pet birds.
The wise man continued.
Hence, cat is not permanently bad or good. its temporary actions, cause hatred and love towards it.
Moreover, none of the items cited by us (including chicken or Cow/ Buffalo milk) are actually designed/ produced for human consumption.
Since you have usurped the right of different species/ creatures and claiming that you alone are empowered to proclaim ownership over other creatures.
Thus key factor, affecting your behaviour is the mindset, which says love this object, as it appease your desire. Or hate the same - if it appears to threaten your interest.
Thus people, do not like or dislike objects; but just their interests or desire. The moment you shed the passion or desire, you will be treat everything with equanimity.
