Five aggregates vs dependent origination What is the relation between the five aggregates and the dependent origination?
We can't see five aggregates as it is. We can see a men, animals, Devas. Or good thing, bad thing. Or a beautiful thing, a ugly thing etc. But in reality, there is nothing like that. Everything just a thing or collection of several things. We only making things matter to us. Nothing else.

Refer this answer. 


  If we took a tower build by stones, actually there is nothing called
  'tower' but set of stones. Like wise, if we consider a person, there
  is nothing but set of things. Lets say you are 40 years old now. What
  are the things you have in your body when you are 1 year old? Nothing
  right? But how you can be recognize now as same you in age 1? because
  of the connection between things changed.


How we see

Since we can't see things in their actual state, we make wrong decisions and doing things and making desires, clinging(උපාදාන) etc. (May be a man really loves his parents. May be we will kill animals to feed our children etc). This cause us to rebirth and we will reborn according to Karma we made. This cycle of born and death is dependent origination.

Most of the times lord Budhdha preaches not knowing things correctly is the starting point of the cycle. and then sanskaara, vinnana etc.
