CL 491
It is possible for everyone
to defend evil as easily as good,
likewise falsity as easily as truth.
The defending of evil
is also perceived as more pleasing
than the defending of good,
and the affirmation of falsity
appears as more enlightened
than the affirmation of truth.
That is because any defense of evil and falsity
draws its reasonings from the pleasures, gratifications,
appearances and fallacies of the bodily senses,
whereas the defense of good and truth
draws its reasons from a realm above
the sensual elements of the body.
