As humans, we like to hold on to what is comfortable and comforting. It's a natural human response but it can also lead to dukkha since whatever we are holding onto (including our idea of self) will eventually change or vanish. And of course there are times when resisting letting go inevitably creates suffering for others.
When we put this in the context of the Buddha's teachings on the cause of Dukkha we start to see this very clearly.
