When Good Men Learn Helplessness


'In his book Thoughts On The Cause Of Present Discontents (1770), the British philosopher Edmund Burke wrote, "When bad men combine, the good must associate; else they will fall one by one..." This sentiment has survived as "All that is necessary for evil to succeed is that good men do nothing."

'Why do good men do nothing in the face of evil, especially when evil aggressively invades their lives?' (Wendy McElroy article).
