When the unEnlightened mind experiences painful feelings, it will oftentimes have aversion (i.e. push away) to what it thinks is causing the discontent feelings with the thought, that is what will solve the problem...but it doesn't.
The mind needs to eliminate the cravings/desires/attachments that are causing the painful feelings to arise and the desire to push people and situations away with aversion. That is what will bring the mind complete peace and joy.
