There is a time in Deathly Hallows when Ron is poised over Riddle’s locket ready to stab the sword into it and the locket grows into harry and hermione and tempts him with darkness. everyone can relate to the temptation. everyone has felt insecurity in the same form at some point or another. When ron turns at harry for a split second reflecting the red in the eye of riddle, it all boils down.
when you are in the very crux of the temptation you will begin to want to think dark thoughts over the good beacuse the very nature of darkness is to seduce. It is more satisfying to believe the bad in people than the good. This is a terrible bit of time when you are sorely tempted and you have to gather your will, your strength your soul and your mind, to negate the darkness and embrace the light. it may not happen right then and you may feel hopeless, depressed and weak for a time, but later light will flood through. and things will be just fine... and God works in gentle ways. He does :)
