Right Effort: Unwholesome states

Hello! I have a question.

For right effort; or harmonious effort; this is to put energy in preventing and abandoning unwholesome states. Were there specific states the Buddha talked about to abandon and prevent?

Thank you.

    Minnesota and Rhode Island, I think...

    One should not engage in anger, desire, greed, grasping, and so forth. This is what is to be abandoned. What is to be developed is compassion and wisdom.
