This is a very interesting concept. Are the majority of humans "good" or "evil"? Naturally it's a wide range of "greys". I think a lot of incompetence is mistaken for evil.
By nature, we are naturally inclined to sin, and we all do. There are no exceptions save one - Jesus Christ who lived the sinless life we never could, so that He could be a truly spotless sacrifice, giving His life a ransom for ours in order that, despite our sinfulness, we could be credited with His righteousness and be granted eternal life through faith in Him and His finished work.
Most times (all if I really think about it) my "heart's desire" does not lead to anything righteous. It is also said that "the heart wants what the heart wants." Again, that rarely, if ever, leads to something unholy. And when I DO succumb to what my heart wants I end up paying a heavy price spiritually.
I totally agree, our society has been pushed in the direction of obtaining what we want in our heart, and that tends to leave God out of the equation. I don't know exactly when the evil that currently prevails over people will be squashed. I just pray that it happens SOON. I'm prepared for Christ to make His comeback tour. Whenever that happens, I will do whatever He needs me to do.
I meant to say "...leads to anything HOLY." My original thought was that those actions are UNholy, my fingers don't move as fast as my brain sometimes.
Ben Shapiro is famous for saying, "Facts don't care about your feelings." I couldn't agree more.
It's a fact that Jesus Christ lived, preach, and was brutally executed because He spoke truth ad facts. And, people were threatened by His speech.
Lately, I have been searching for sense and purpose in such a vile world where "My body, my choice" translates into the antithesis of "I give my body for you."
My eyes are watching and my ears are listening. Praise God and thank you Jesus. 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

It's a dumb Roxette song, too.
Yeah, the song “Listen to Your Heart” was awful.
Not to mentioned “uncircumcised hearts!”
