Opposing forces
Full force and radiant logos
Bring conscience of truth
No man knows how bad he is till he has tried very hard to be good. A
silly idea is current that good people do not know what temptation
means. This is an obvious lie. Only those who try to resist temptation
know how strong it is. After all, you find out the strength of the
German army by fighting against it, not by giving in. You find out the
strength of a wind by trying to walk against it, not by lying down. A
man who gives in to temptation after five minutes simply does not know
what it would have been like an hour later. That is why bad people, in
one sense, know very little about badness. They have lived a sheltered
life by always giving in. We never find out the strength of the evil
impulse inside us until we try to fight it (...). --Clive Staples L.
