Good and evil in man: Indeed, there is no one on earth who is righteous, no one who does what is right and never sins

Wisdom is beautiful and perfect and makes us similar to God, but no matter how much wisdom we have, we cannot be good to everyone. And about this many famous men have given testimony with their lives in the Bible.
King David, a man of extraordinary virtue, sinned because he fell madly in love with the beautiful Bathsheba. Job, a God-fearing man, sinned at the moment of testing because he pretended to judge the Almighty. That is why a sapiential book teaches us with wisdom: "Indeed, there is no one on earth who is righteous, no one who does what is right and never sins", Ecclesiastes 7:20.
The Bible, when it gives us someone as an example, never shows us perfect men, but rather men who seek perfection. That is why a person who seeks God and his wisdom must, first of all, avoid pride and arrogance and consider himself better than others, wisdom is humility and service to others.
Good and evil in man are paths, lifestyles, we are what we choose to be: "God in the beginning created human beings and made them subject to their own free choice" Ben Sira 15:14. We are all sinners, and no one is exempt from sin, but while in the blessed man sin is the exception, in the sinner sin is a habit. We can't expect good things from evil people.
Sin in man is like a wolf that is always on the prowl, waiting for his opportunity, that is why the man who truly fears God constantly watches over his heart; and in this consists the true wisdom. The fear of God is constancy, firmness, devotion. The sinner judges others first and himself last, he sees sin first in others and then in himself, and that's why he justifies his conduct; on the other hand, in the blessed man it is the opposite.
Wisdom invites us to seek with devotion the most perfect, God, first accepting our own imperfections.
