Hi this is Tutor Nick P and this is Quotes 203. Today the quote is by Albert
Einstein. Yeah. We've done a number by him. We've probably done at least about four
or five by him before. And he usually has some pretty good quotes too. But I kind
of like this one does this one reminds me of an old quote I did and I didn't
realize he did this. I kind of recently found this quote . Well let's, let's go
over it right now "The world will not be destroyed by those who do evil, but by
those who watch them without doing anything. " Okay. Let's continue with the
note here. This quote immediately reminds me of another quote I covered by Edmund
Burke. Yeah. That was it was a while ago. "All you need for evil to triumph is for
good men should do nothing. " So they're pretty much saying the same thing. I'm kind of
surprised that they're both, even though they're far apart in time and countries,
They're, they're basically both saying almost exactly the same thing. So let's
continue here. Both of these quotes are implying, they're suggesting, that it is
not only the moral thing to do but the duty, the responsibility of the
good people to call out and counter evil when it is recognized. To call it out
meaning you know point to it say hey that's that's wrong. You know that's,
that's bad. You got to stop that. And counter , to go against it. When it is
recognized. We all know it is easier to do nothing and play it safe. But by
playing it safe, we allow evil to fester, to grow, you know, just, just like germs a
disease. It can multiply, if you do nothing. Fester, grow
and spread destruction and harm. They are both implying by doing nothing
we are nearly as responsible as those who do the evil deeds. Almost, by our
silence. yeah and play it safe attitude, we
condone the evil. Condone it, meaning almost say like " it's okay." by just
keeping quiet not pointing it out. Not countering it. And in turn give it
permission to exist. It can only be halted, halted it means
stopped. By those who will speak out and take actions to oppose it. If enough
people are brave enough to oppose evil it can be controlled or halted. Anyway,
well at least I hope so. Anyway, I hope you got it. I hope you appreciate it. I
hope it was food for thought. Thank you for your time. Bye-bye.
