112. “Bhikkhus, while considering the internal factors that impel or drive a person, I do not know of a single thing that is more detrimental in the amount of harm it inflicts, than having the desire for and the pursuit of evil and damaging habits.

“For truly, having the desire for and the pursuit of evil and damaging habits brings you much harm.”
