Dennis delves into the idea that our good intentions often lead to more harm than our bad desires. This concept is rooted in a Jewish concept that suggests we're born with two wills: a good one and a bad one. The good urge tells us to do what's right, while the bad urge encourages us to take shortcuts and prioritize our own interests.
