What is an affliction that should be destroyed

I often go to conveyor belt sushi, so I have a question about what I noticed there. What is affliction? “Worry is suffering (Ducca)” Now that's it, I'd like to dig a little deeper, but I'm assuming that “greed” is necessary for survival, and if you don't satisfy this, you can't maintain...

I want to die I want to change my feelings
