Anything that happens, happens because of necessity.
When good happens, it had to happen because of causes.
When evil happens, it had to happen because of causes.
The first quote states that knowledge of goodness is inherent.
The second quote states what does not cause good or evil actions.
The question is, what does cause inherent good to transform from inherency, into action?
The transformation of inherent good into action can be understood through several interconnected factors that motivate and facilitate the transition from potential to actuality.
Individuals need to recognize their inherent good, values, and potential. This self-awareness often arises through introspection, education, and personal growth.
Understanding the needs, suffering, and perspectives of others can prompt the desire to act on inherent goodness.
Actions often stem from internal desires, such as the need for fulfillment, meaning, or the satisfaction of helping others.
Goals and Aspirations: Having clear goals or a sense of purpose can direct inherent good towards specific actions.
Seeing others act on their inherent good can inspire and motivate individuals to do the same.
Cultural and Societal Values: Societal norms and cultural values can either encourage or discourage the expression of inherent goodness.
Very well said here "harbal".
And I will add to 'this' that 'inherent good' comes from being a 'physical body and being', oneself, and from 'having empathy' or from 'having the ability to empathize', one is 'able to know' how to 'treat all physical bodies and beings' properly, and Correctly. And, as well as to how to 'not mistreat' all 'physical bodies and beings', as well.
Also, this 'inherent good' or 'instinctively knowing', which is built within the absolute 'bottom' of the 'dna' of 'physicality', itself, is what is actually 'guiding' and 'instructs' human beings to what is 'Right/good', and, 'Wrong/bad', in Life.
These 'guiding instructions' certainly do not come from some male gendered and bearded older human being, living up in the clouds somewhere, like some human beings actually believe is true, (if you can believe that there are, still, some human beings who believe this). Anyway, this 'instinctual knowing of 'good' and 'bad' is deep within all is what "harbal" is explaining to "walker" here of how the 'transformation' of the 'internal knowledge' is 'put into action', or more correctly of how the 'eternal internal knowledge' of 'Right' and Wrong', or 'good' and 'bad' is transformed into 'behavior' or 'misbehavior'.
The 'story' of how the 'wiser' One from up 'high' 'knows' what is Right and Wrong, in Life, is just in reference to how the internal 'knowing' is absolutely Accurate and Correct, whereas the learned 'thinking' is 'lower down' in accuracy and correctness. And, how the 'knowing' is Objective, which is just 'what is' relative to absolutely every one.
Older 'fairy tales', like the bible, were written, metaphorically, to express and pass on 'moral Truths'. Just like how all 'older past' generations to 'tell' 'stories' to pass on the 'lores' in 'those times'. 'Folk lores' were 'orally passed on stories', from the 'older folks' to the 'younger folks', and told through 'oral traditions' to 'inform' or to 'tell' 'a story'. The bible is one of the earlier written 'stories', 'fairy tale', or 'lesson', which was just being expressed in 'the ways' done in the past, that is; is 'in story like, or metaphorical, language'. To keep the 'younger readers/listeners' more interested. And, as a lot of 'stories' of 'that time' and well, well before, they were told with a 'moral', 'behind the story', intention.
The 'older bearded human being' is just a 'dramatization' or, literally, an 'illustration' of just 'the wise, or wiser, one'. Why the 'wiser one' is a 'man' is just because the writers/tellers of 'the bible story', which is just a longer 'parable' to express a 'moral lesson'. is because the bible was written by the 'men' of 'that day', and the 'men', in the days when the bible is being written 'believed' that 'only men' were the strong, intelligent, and wise ones, only. So, 'those men' 'believed' that God must be also, and that False and Wrong misinterpretation has been passed on down the generations, again where even in the days when this is being written some, still, 'believe' and absolutely, that that God is some kind of a male gendered (human) being, living 'over' you human beings. The references to God being 'up high', or again 'up above', is just in reference the the invisible part of 'thinking', and of 'knowing' specifically.
There are countless other examples I could provide which all 'fit in together, perfectly', to provide One True 'crystal clear picture' and 'illustration' of all-there-is.

Access to necessary resources, such as time, money, and tools, can enable individuals to act on their good intentions.
'Money' is not, never has been, and never will be a 'necessary resource' at all.

Support Systems: Having a supportive network, such as family, friends, or community, can provide the encouragement and assistance needed to transform good intentions into actions.
And, to 'continue' those 'good behaviors', only, forwards.

Life events, crises, or significant experiences can act as catalysts, prompting individuals to act on their inherent goodness.
Challenges and Needs: Encountering situations that require help or intervention can motivate people to act.
Strong ethical and moral beliefs can drive individuals to align their actions with their inherent good.
Conscience: An internal sense of right and wrong often compels individuals to take action when they perceive an opportunity to do good.
Learning new skills and gaining knowledge can empower individuals to take action.
Personal Experience: Life experiences, including successes and failures, can shape one’s ability to act on inherent goodness.
Emotional connections and empathy towards others’ suffering can motivate action.
A strong passion for a cause or belief can drive individuals to transform their inherent good into tangible actions.
In essence, the transformation of inherent good into action is a dynamic process influenced by internal motivations, external conditions, opportunities, and personal development. It often requires a combination of awareness, motivation, resources, support, and sometimes a triggering event to move from potential to action.
That's all I can think of.
