The “good” that is within man

"In the language of the Old Testament, we read that “the whole head is sick, and the whole heart is sick. From the sole of the foot even
to the head there is no soundness in it, but bruises, and swellings, and putrefying sores
” (Isaiah 1:5-6). 
Jesus Christ Himself described the quality of the inner man: “From within, out of the heart of man, come evil thoughts, adulteries, fornications, murders, thefts, covetousness, wickedness, deceit, vice, envy, gossip, pride, foolishness… ” (Mark 7:21-23). 
So, for help, it is not within ourselves that we must look. The Nazi Holocaust, the Inquisition, wars, and violence in all its forms are vibrant examples of the result of expressing the “good” that is within man."
