One can imagine nonviolent or minimally violent ways to reduce or eliminate hatred, but there's no mollifying evil.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
As human beings we have the most extraordinary capacity for evil. We can perpetrate some of the most horrendous atrocities.
Almost all people have this potential for evil, which would be unleashed only under certain dangerous social circumstances.
Tolerating evil leads only to more evil. And when good people stand by and do nothing while wickedness reigns, their communities will be consumed.
Nothing is so good that impious and sacrilegious and wicked people cannot contort its proper benefit into evil.
Hatred is gained as much by good works as by evil.
In my view, the most damaging evils that are perpetrated upon us are through some abstract notion about good, where we're willing to sacrifice individuals in the present for some great vision of an improved or perfect future.
We may never be strong enough to be entirely nonviolent in thought, word and deed. But we must keep nonviolence as our goal and make strong progress towards it.
The dread of evil is a much more forcible principle of human actions than the prospect of good.
There surely is in human nature an inherent propensity to extract all the good out of all the evil.
Forcible ways make not an end of evil, but leave hatred and malice behind them.
