We all have a dual nature. We often do things we ought not to do and we don't do the things we ought to do. We are both a devil and a saint. Sometimes our respectable exterior covers a lustful and unsavory interior. This inner conflict often undermines our physical health and spiritual life. The simple truth is that we can't live a double life and be happy.
