To confront evil personally is to embark on a quest for inner truth. It acknowledges that evil's power over us stems from what we lack, not from what we possess. This realization is empowering, for it places the key to overcoming evil in our hands. By seeking to fill the void with Truth, Wisdom, Good, and Love, we fortify ourselves against the darkness.
The veil of mindlessness is one of the most insidious ways in which evil manifests, and it is through the erosion of our mindfulness. In the hustle and bustle of daily life, it's easy to lose oneself in the past or the future, neglecting the present moment. This mindlessness is a fertile ground for evil, closing our eyes to the beauty and truth of our immediate experience.
