“In his riches, man lacks wisdom” - seems to me the more honour or power or wealth or pleasure we have access to the more our fallen nature is vulnerable. The religious who willingly divest and renounce these things do not do so because they’ve mastered their fallen nature, but because they radically seek something greater by way of a radical avoidance of such alluring lies that come from such things. As you say they are not evil, and yet with a fallen nature it is very difficult to deal wisely with those things that are as such passing.
