| May 27, 2014 at 3:29 | comment | added | הנער הזה | The idea that evil is an 'external inclination' can be sourced to the sin of the Etz Hadaas- see Nefesh Hachayim 1:6; because a person is actually his 'soul' which does good, the inclination to do good is more of a part of him | |
| May 27, 2014 at 2:54 | comment | added | user5488 | I think its true that psychologically, we like to personify evil in something, but goodness happens of its own accord. As in, goodness is the absence of bad things. Perhaps as well we like to think of ourselves as good people, and the reason why we act badly is some external force. | |
