The path of material existence is certainly vile due to its inherent nature. All endeavors on this path are like sharp thorns, and so there is only pain by coming and going on it. Still, mean people cannot give it up. (础濒补峁卥腻谤补-办补耻蝉迟耻产丑补 8.211)
Commentary:
The main reason the path of material existence is vile is its inherent nature. This is Mamma峁璦鈥檚 example:

How can I possibly tolerate this malevolent pang of separation?鈥�
Mamma峁璦 explains:
