Also because of self-grasping, selfishness wants to embrace everything: talent, form, fame, and reality, to give it to it, to take it all, and to want to be served when the five desires require it. Craving is bottomless, so much is not enough. Always want to suffer forever! When you are not satisfied with something, you get angry and angry. And anger is hot.
