Someone consulted the Chofetz Chayim, “My evil inclination does not give me any rest.  What can I do?”

“That is really for your good,” replied the Chofetz Chaim.  The purpose of our being in this world is to overcome our forbidden impulses.  We are frequently in a state of conflict.  By controlling our desires for evil, we elevate ourselves.  The more difficult it is, the greater the merit. ~ R’ Zelig Pliskin
