Wounded will

A wounded will is when pain, fear, betrayal, or sinful habits make a person see the good as dangerous and self-protection as wisdom, causing them to struggle to choose what they know is right.

His wounded will made it difficult for him to forgive those who hurt him, even though he knew forgiveness was right.
