Beyond Mere Politeness — The Art of True Civility
The Art of Manliness
The Duality of Human Nature and the Overwhelming of Selfish Desires
The story of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde illustrates the idea that the line between good and evil runs through every human heart, as Dr. Jekyll repressed his darker desires but indulged in them through the creation of a potion. The more he indulged in his darker side, the easier it became to transform, overwhelming his public persona and reputation. The human nature is defined by a deep social impulse to be in relationship with others, but also by self-love, leading to a morally and biologically driven need to meet one's own needs before others. The extreme manifestation of self-love, the lust to dominate, can become overwhelming, as seen in Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde where the dominating lust ultimately overtook Dr. Jekyll and led to his demise.
