Evil is committed without effort, naturally, fatally goodness is always the product of some art.

Evil is committed without effort, naturally, fatally goodnes

Summary

This quote suggests that evil actions come about effortlessly and naturally, almost as if they are a default state. On the other hand, goodness requires intentional effort and some form of skill or artistry to cultivate. It implies that being good is not something that simply happens by chance or without purpose; it requires conscious acts of kindness and virtuous behavior. In contrast, evil seems to possess an inherent ease and inevitability. Overall, the quote highlights the contrast between the effortless nature of evil and the intentional cultivation required for goodness.
