If you want to do something wrong

"If you want to do something wrong, you instinctively feel you
should hide, so as not to be caught and punished. And if you want
to do something good, you think it is fine to be seen! Some
people, out of vanity, even flaunt themselves, thus provoking
opposition and arousing spite and jealousy. If you are thinking
of making someone a gift, again, be careful: it might be better
if there were no witnesses. And sometimes it would even be
preferable for the person you are benefiting not to know where it
came from, for your gesture may provoke unexpected reactions from
them.
In all your dealings with others, try to take into account the
complex relationship between each person’s lower and higher
natures."
