Is HONESTY
an act of will;
does it require a person
working hard
to refrain
from doing
the wrong thing?
Or is it an act of
GRACE,
effortless
because temptation
isn’t tempting?
In the study’s paradigm,
it was
GRACE
all the way
-among the
unequivocally
HONEST,
there was no increase
in PFC activity
when the chance
to cheat arose.
Their PFC neurons
weren’t successfully
wrestling Satan
into submission.
There was
NO
WRESTLING.
It was simple
-you don’t do that,
it’s wrong,
PERIOD.
JACOB WRESTLING WITH THE ANGEL MARC CHAGALL 1963
