Not to have one is רע מאד. Very, very bad.

Tov Meod - Part 2
I once received a communication from a frum woman in America who was married with a number of children but was just not interested in the "yetzer hara" part of her relationship with her husband. He was a good guy, made a nice living and treated her well but she just wasn't interested. You can only imagine what a strain this placed on their relationship. Her husband was indeed a good guy but not made of plastic. What I advised her is beyond the scope of our discussion. The point I want to make is that to have a "yetzer hara" is TOV MEOD [as we discussed in the previous and hopefully future posts].
