I am not, “basically good.”
Cain is in us all.
Our problems are not “out there” or “with them” but “in here,” in us.

I was terrified.
I was watching myself kill people.
Walter White was just my proxy.
Every episode of the famous AMC television series Breaking Bad I watched was my own reflection in the mirror.
Bryan Cranston, the actor playing Walter White who becomes the drug lord “Heisenberg,” agrees:
[Quote] “People ask, ‘Was Heisenberg always there–in the darkness–or did he have to completely adopt a new personality to survive?’ And my answer is the former–he was always there. Anyone can become dangerous. Heisenberg has dark thoughts. The rest of us are just not exposing our dark thoughts to the world.” [End Quote]
Yehiel Dinur knew this too. He was a chief witness against the Holocaust atrocities of Adolf Eichmann in 1961. Dinur, survivor of Auschwitz, confronted the Nazi Adolf Eichmann face-to-face for the first time in almost two decades. Seeing the genocidal murderer of thousands, Dinur broke down in uncontrolled sobbing. Mike Wallace of 60 Minutes fame questioned Dinur about his emotional response.
“I was afraid about myself,” said Dinur. “I saw that I am capable to do this. I am . . . exactly like he. Eichmann is in all of us.”
Walter White and Adolf Eichmann are in all of us.
We are all capable of evil, because we are all inherently corrupt. We like to think we are basically good. But we’re not. In our most honest moment we have to confess our own inherent corruption. We cannot blame politicians, parents, or passing culture. The famed Russian writer Alexander Solzhenitsyn said it this way, “The line separating good and evil passes not through states, nor between political parties—but right through every human heart.”
I think Jesus said it best, It’s what comes from within a man that makes him unclean.
For Truth in Two, this is Dr. Mark Eckel, President of the Comenius Institute, personally seeking Truth wherever it’s found.
