| If there is no evil will, there will be no evil works. This means that the main thing is not works but man's inner disposition, the good or evil will of his soul and the virtuous or depraved condition of his heart, from which good or evil works are born naturally.
Archbishop Averky (Taushev)

| In my opinion, evil is a question of free will. Everyone has a choice: whether to be good or not. Nobody can be forced to be only a good person, if you want to do bad things - do them. But remember the consequences of it for others and your own soul. I always keep in mind the book "East of Eden" by John Steinbeck, where the destiny of two brothers was completely opposite because of their life choices. Steinbeck shows us that everything is in our hands. When a person is happy and kind, he won't do any evil, because there is only peace in his soul and no space for evil.

| I absolutely agree with the words of Archbishop Averky. He suggests that good and evil works come from the state of our hearts. By keeping our hearts pure and free from sin, we can reduce the likelihood of committing evil deeds.
That is why in church we always hear sermons about sin and salvation. Confession is also very important in this case - it helps us to examine ourselves and our behaviour and thoughts. To grow love and kindness in our hearts, we should actively cultivate virtue by practising forgiveness and kindness, spreading God's love to others. When we face temptations - bad thoughts and sins - we should always remember prayer and the close presence of God who has the power to deliver us from evil.
