Born from the essence of God your soul manifests through myriad contractions tzimtzumim a new identity namely self, in addition we are given an evil – yes evil – inclination containing devious pleasure in evil things namely sadness when things don’t go our way (a child throwing a temper tantrum /moping) ego, mocking (ever heard a joke about a stutterer) and selfish pleasures i.e. sex, taste, music and even intellectual studies like science.

Ultimately the goal is to allow the dominance of soul – i.e. the desire you have and as you felt strongly in childhood for goodness peace and kindness to be reality to win your evil inclination which bring the redemption.
