If only it were that simple.
If only there were evil people,
somewhere insidiously committing evil deeds
and it were necessary only to separate them from the rest of us and destroy them.
But the line dividing good and evil cuts through the heart of every human being.
It is after all only because of the way things worked out that they were the executioners
and we weren’t.

To recognize the possibility of evil in every one of us shows us the importance of engaging ourselves to make sure that the evil of the past can't repeat itself in the future.
