What’s said in this shiur

The opening of this shiur, in Emet Outreach’s own words — taken from the captions, so names and Hebrew terms may be approximate.

I want to talk tonight about the world's first murder and of course we talk about the world's first murder what am i referring to I'm referring to Cain and Abel stoic kind of name and kind babble and I'd like to analyze a little bit and there are obviously lessons that we need to take for life from it first of all we have to understand before we discuss this murder now we have a certain principle in life in Judaism a fact of reality that a person never ever does anything wrong did you know that the human being never does anything wrong before we do anything good or anything bad we will convince ourselves that what we are actually doing is good now that's a reality the human being cannot live with themselves if they would do something wrong and the reason is because God planted inside of us a soul that's so pure and so good so holy that it can't tolerate to do anything except do God's will that's the soul so how can we find people not doing God's will and doing terrible things in this world and murdering people and killing people robbing and there all sorts of things the answer is that a Shem in order to allow us to have free choice placed inside our brains a power which we called Daniel Daniel means imagination
