ohh.there are more than one channel that contibute to the darkening of the heart :O   that's why we cannot choose-to do good on this, but not on this :O seriously,i'm interested on number 1o & number 11 :)

Hudhayfa ibn al-Yamani, may Allah be pleased with him, said: 
“The Messenger of Allah SAW said,

 “Temptations are presented to the heart, one by one. Any heart that accepts them will be left with a black stain, but any heart that rejects them will be left with a mark of purity, so that hearts are of two types: a dark heart that has turned away and become like an overturned vessel, and a pure heart that will never be harmed by temptation for as long as the earth and the heavens exist. The dark heart only recognises good and denounces evil when this suits its desires and whims.”    ;(
[Muslim, Kitab al-Iman, 2/170 (with different wording).]
