SN 12.66 says:
> *The many diverse kinds of suffering that arise in the world headed by aging-and-death: this suffering has acquisition as its source,
> acquisition as its origin; it is born and produced from acquisition.
> When there is acquisition, aging-and-death comes to be; when there is
> no acquisition, aging-and-death does not come to be.*
Why does SN 12.66 say aging-and-death has acquisition (upadhi) as its source? Why doesn't SN 22.66 say aging-and-death has cancer or heart disease as its source?
