| 22. Do they act on this feeling? |
|
Or do they see there's something wrong and try to get to the root of it? It isn't the feeling that makes the evil, it's how one deals with it.
If I have an awful feeling once in my life--a racist thought, a homicidal desire, whatever--does that mean I should say, fuck it, I'm evil, I might as well just give up trying to be good?
