““But you've not explained why the quality of good is not inherent, but not that of evil. I say man has these dual qualities in equal measure and both are desirable at different times during a man's development. For example during childhood, particularly infancy, it is more desirable to draw upon the good than the evil because if children were evil, society would abandon them. Yet when a man has matured he will use both to further himself and achieve his ends. In old age a man reverts back to solely being good because he needs society to look after him more and does not have the strength to perform evil deeds." [175-176]””
