Machshava:

Ethics

Description

p. 48. We all have to aspire to be a beinoni (intermediate person). What is a beinoni? How are we supposed to look at ourselves? Braisa: even if everybody considers you a tzadik (righteous person), consider yourself a rasha (wicked person) – are we really supposed to think that we are bad? There is an aspect of wickedness within each of us. If we are not on guard against the evil within us, it will destroy us.
