"Everything arises" is a bad excuse for lack of self control. If you say this, you can also say that a murder and a rape just arises every minute in some part of the world. Your habits and tendencies are not arising. They are being ingrained because they have a potential to boost your ego. It is a lack of self esteem. You are the one who controls these and you are strengthening your habits.
