Mark, being a dreamer with your head in the clouds is often good provided you have your feet firmly planted in old terra firma. I question that you are being realistic about human nature. Man has always been in conflict between good and bad desires. No one is exempt from this process. People are also very paradoxical. Many have been born in slums and have overcame their environment in spite of evil while many raised in good homes have became evil for no apparent reason other than being born with an evil nature.

The battle between the flesh and the spirit is nowhere explained better than in the Bible.

"24What a wretched man I am! Who will rescue me from this body of death? 25Thanks be to God—through Jesus Christ our Lord!
So then, I myself in my mind am a slave to God's law, but in the sinful nature a slave to the law of sin."
Romans 7

James
