“If we are filled with darkness we will pursue evil, but those of the light pursue truth - because it is light. Those in darkness think light is darkness so they get to believing the lie which means inputting evil motives like their own into God!”

1 Corinthians 13:5 (love) doesn't behave itself inappropriately, doesn't seek its own way, is not provoked, takes no account of evil;

Colossians 1:21 You, being in past times alienated and enemies in your mind in your evil works.

1 Thessalonians 5:15 See that no one returns evil for evil to anyone, but always follow after that which is good, for one another, and for all.

1 Thessalonians 5:22 Abstain from every form of evil.

1 Timothy 6:10 For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil. Some have been led astray from the faith in their greed, and have pierced themselves through with many sorrows.

Titus 3:2 to speak evil of no one, not to be contentious, to be gentle, showing all humility toward all men.

James 1:13 Let no man say when he is tempted, "I am tempted by God," for God can't be tempted by evil, and he himself tempts no one.
Facts: Paul MacLean introduced the concept of a triune brain in the 1960s. This model of brain structure and function is based on three specific regions of the human brain: the 1) basal ganglia, 2) the limbic system, and 3) the neocortex. Each of these structures is thought to be responsible for a specific group of mental activities: 1) the fight-or-flight survival response and other primal activities, 2) emotions, and 3) rational thinking. MacLean suggested that these structures developed in this order through evolution. However, while the triune brain model provides us with a neat way of looking at the relationship between structure and function in the human brain, evidence has shown various regions are involved in the three groups of activities outlined above. Therefore, there is no such neat division; instead, primal, emotional and rational mental activities are the product of neural activity in more than one of the three regions addressed in MacLean's model, and their collective energy creates human experience. Nevertheless, MacLean's model provides a clear view of mental activity, which can be beneficial when addressing the needs of users in our design projects.
