Which Is Which?

Rav Chayim Brim zt”l once came to ask a chinuch question of the Chazon Ish zt”l. “One the one hand, the yetzer tov is telling me to do it this way, but on the other hand, the yetzer hara is telling me to do it the other way!”

The Chazon Ish retorted, “It’s not as if the yetzer hara comes to you all dressed up, wearing a sign saying who he is! How do you know which one is the yetzer tov talking, and which one is the yetzer hara?!”
