But the problem is that even if you know that is the best thing to do, you often don't do it....it is true. It's as if there were two people inside you. One says: do this. Another says: do that. But both voices are inside the same person.
In "Morality for Beautiful Girls" by Alexander McCall Smith, the author explores the internal conflict many experience when faced with decisions. Individuals often recognize the right course of action, but struggle to take that path due to competing thoughts and desires. This illustrates the duality of human nature, where one part of us urges responsibility while another seeks immediate gratification.
This internal struggle emphasizes the complexity of moral choices. Despite understanding what is best, people frequently find themselves torn between conflicting impulses. McCall Smith highlights this psychological battle, suggesting that the voices representing different motivations coexist within a single being, causing confusion and hesitation in decision-making.
