rather,it is just greed that originates from greed.
It is not non-hatred that originates from hatred;

It is not non-delusion that originates from delusion;
rather,it is just delusion that originates from delusion.
"It is not [339][the realms]of devas and humans—or anyother good destinations--that are seen because of kamma born of greed,hatred,and delusion;
rather,it is hell,the animal realm,and the sphere of afflicted spirits—as well as other bad destinations—that are seen because of kamma born of greed,hatred,and delusion.
