Yetzer Horah

Why is there very little about the yetzer horah in Chassidus? There's alot about the Nefesh Habahamis yet very little about the yetzer horah?

Possibly the yetzer horah is that part of ourselves that wants to do real evil. I mean real evil. Like you get that thought let me kill that guy. Do you know that thought? It happens to me. You know you'll never do it, yet the thought comes to you.

Now that's the yezter horah.

The Nefesh Habahamis, on the other hand, are those things we enjoy, those things that unfortunately get the better of us at times, you know, those selfish things.

That's why in the olden days they had to deal with the yetzer horah. Have you read those stories in Na"ch?

Nowadays, why talk about the yetzer horah? Tell me how many people will actually listen to him anyway?
