“In each of us, two natures are at war – the good and the evil.”
— Robert Louis Stevenson
Simplified Meaning:
Inside every person, there are two sides fighting against each other: one that wants to do good things and one that may want to do bad things. For example, imagine you find a wallet full of money on the street. The good side of you wants to return it to the owner because it’s the right thing to do. But the other side might tempt you to keep the money for yourself. Most people experience this kind of struggle when making everyday choices, like deciding to lie or tell the truth, or help someone or ignore them. This inner conflict is normal, and recognizing it can help you make better decisions. By being aware of these two sides, you can try to choose actions that reflect your best self.
