Bhagavad Gita, Chapter 3, Verse 34

The attraction and aversion of the senses for their objects are natural. Let no one fall under their sway, for they stand in the way like enemies.

Liking and disliking things is normal. Letting those reactions run the show is the actual problem.

The senses pulling toward some things and away from others isn't itself the issue, that's just how they work. The real work is not handing over control to that pull, since left unchecked, it quietly starts making decisions a person never actually agreed to.
