Quote

"All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good people do nothing."
- Edmund Burke

I believe that this quote is partially right and that in a lot of cases evil occurs when nothing is done to prevent/stop it. A lot of the time things happen before you realize what is even going on. I think that in these cases, once an degree of evil has been reached, it is difficult for these "good people" to take major strides in fighting it head on. I think that it is just difficult to find all the good people amidst the powerful evil, which makes it seem as Edmund Burke describes. Even though there is evil there is always someone willing to fight it but it takes a lot to overcome evil.
