“When we do what comes naturally, we do nothing but wrong.”
A truly bizarre assertion.

This is the traditional Judeo-Christian assertion that man is basically evil, and requires redemption. The fabric of our society unravels at the rapid pace we see precisely because of the post modern abandonment of this very significant postulate: Man sins because he is a sinner.
A world view which presumes that people are basically good will produce a much different result than one which presumes the opposite. Until post WWI, we had the opposite. Even anecdotally, the point is made.
