    My turn:

    210. Seek no intimacy with the beloved and also not with the unloved, for not to see the beloved and to see the unloved, both are painful.

    211. Therefore hold nothing dear, for separation from the dear is painful. There are no bonds for those who have nothing beloved or unloved.

    212. From endearment springs grief, from endearment springs fear. From him who is wholly free from endearment there is no grief, whence then fear?

    213. From affection springs grief, from affection springs fear. From him who is wholly free from affection there is no grief, whence then fear?

    214. From attachment springs grief, from attachment springs fear. From him who is wholly free from attachment there is no grief, whence then fear?

    215. From lust springs grief, from lust springs fear. From him who is wholly free from craving there is no grief; whence then fear?

    216. From craving springs grief, from craving springs fear. From him who is wholly free from craving there is no grief; whence then fear?
