When have you justified the unjustifiable with a clever argument? The Ramchal warns that the yetzer hara wields a twisted logic—making evil deeds appear noble and noble deeds look oppressive—by distorting the little light we have in this dark world. Just as we see moral clarity warped into license for cruelty today, from condoning violence to excusing every personal indulgence, the darkness makes good look bad and bad look good. How does twisted reasoning blind us to truth? This episode will expose the subtle fallacies that barrage our hearts and equip you to recognize—and reject—the perverse proofs that mask evil as good.
