In my interpretation, TB's point is that many of our problems arise from a sense of responsibility to avoid negative consequences. I came across a Rabbi's perspective on this, highlighting the importance of focusing on the cause of our actions rather than speculating about potential outcomes. The gospel emphasizes the need for a profound change of heart, which directly impacts our overall perspective on life and serves as evidence of our belief. When faced with problems, our initial instinct is often to try and modify our behavior. This issue is not limited to non-believers; even those who break their religious commitments are blinded to what is truly good. Their understanding of goodness is based on being superior to others, striving to be humble and set the best example. However, they are only drawn to behaviors that validate their sense of goodness, leading them to perform actions to establish internal order and acceptance. Unfortunately, their misguided pursuit of moral demands and self-deception about their own qualities of goodness result in destructive dominance. This is commonly referred to as the primary activity of the human inclination towards sinful desires.
