Jeremiah proclaims that our human heart is desperately corrupt. We turn in upon
ourselves and our concerns, deceiving ourselves as much as others. We are arrogant, even
about our goodness.
Albert Camus portrays arrogance in his novel, The Fall. The character, Clamence continues walking over a bridge and doesn't respond to a woman who jumps off to commit suicide. Years later after a successful day of doing good for others and impressing his peers, he walks over a bridge. He hears laughter behind him that seems to ridicule him, condemning him for his moral failure upon a bridge years earlier.
Realizing that God knows our heart slams us gasping against a wall, or at least makes us stumble to a stop and lean against the railing of a bridge. The heart is the center of the human personality and it's our central problem. Only God can cure the problem by writing there a new law of grace.
