Self-Mastery Is Our True Aim

I am intrigued by the fact that a small child learns to tell lies at an early age before even they have really learned many of life's lessons. Their lies are easy to spot because they are not cleverly disguised like they are when we get better at it.. So this would seem to be in opposition to your stand that evil does not naturally dwell in people. I believe that we must battle our natural tendencies towards evil and that we should strive to defeat evil where we find it, and often that is within.

Hmm, my believes are that Evil is an illusion, so is Good. If you look at the Cosmos, the concepts of Good and Evil as not materialize as principles which run the Universe. Perhaps its all just in our heads.
