Well, that is very depressing.

I often wonder how it is that humans can be this cruel.

I think we are literally fighting evil.

Peace and evil are opposites; fighting for peace is like f*ing for virginity. Strictly speaking evil can't be defeated, but it can be avoided by understanding and applying the dynamics of peace.

I am working very hard to defeat evil by exposing lies and spreading the truth. Evil can be defeated. I believe that with my whole being. The reason evil flourishes is that good men do nothing.

There's nothing wrong with exposing lies and spreading the truth, and it's true that apathy enables evil to become prevalent.

The modern world has little concept of the nature of evil because of science, which is ethically agnostic, and because of religion, which is based on belief rather than reality. The dimension of peace and evil is like the dimension of time in that both have a strong connection to consciousness. When you fix your attention on evil you unavoidably attract it to yourself, and to defeat something you should understand it, which of course involves giving it your attention. The solution then is to focus on peace, and in the context of evil this involves bringing those who embody evil to justice.

I agree with most of what you said generally. However there are times that good people have to push back against darkness, there is a happy and positive sense when acting with justice and in defense of little ones. But I understand what you mean. :)
