Because evil rarely looks like the typical wicked witches and ogres in children\u2019s stories; instead, it tends to hide behind a friendly face. And it is usually not expressed through yelling or the wicked laughter of Snow White\u2019s stepmother, but often through a gentle way of speaking, with no word sounding louder than another, radiating moderation. Quite often, it even comes with smiles and pleasant manners. Frequently, the more evil a person is, the more likable they seem, with the most psychopathic being masters of the art of appearing charming.<\/p><p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">All of this is accompanied by a discourse overflowing with good intentions and people-pleasing, in line with whatever is politically, socially and religiously correct in each specific place and time. If it is a society that values solidarity, sanctimony will lead us to preach it and perform some small, sugar-coated act of charity.

By contrast, they do not act in the same way with abuses committed by rival groups. One example is Christians who oppose reporting injustices within their own religion, but not those within Islam, which they are also happy to join in reporting.<\/p><p style=\"font-weight: 400; text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: #3366ff;\"><a style=\"color: #3366ff;\" href=\"https:\/\/institutodelbienestar.com\/en\/live-without-harming\/publications\/be-impartial-and-do-not-apply-double-standards\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><em>Read FOR A WORLD WITHOUT HARM: Be impartial and not apply double standards<\/em><\/a><\/span><\/p><p>2) <strong>Generalized do-goodism<\/strong>, adopting that complicit attitude toward all kinds of abuses in general, or toward a good portion of them.<\/p><p style=\"font-weight: 400; text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/institutodelbienestar.com\/en\/live-without-harming\/publications\/do-not-be-dogooders-but-truly-good\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><em><span style=\"color: #3366ff;\">Read THE ART OF LIVING WITHOUT HARMING: Let us not be do-gooders, but truly good<\/span><\/em><\/a><\/p><p style=\"font-weight: 400; text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: #3366ff;\"><a style=\"color: #3366ff;\" href=\"https:\/\/institutodelbienestar.com\/en\/live-without-harming\/publications\/never-support-injustice\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><em>Read THE REVOLUTION OF LIVING WITHOUT HARMING: Never support injustice<\/em><\/a><\/span><\/p><p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In both cases, two typical sanctimonious arguments in response to reporting injustices are, on the one hand, forgiveness and love and, on the other, that one should not be against anything.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>FORGIVENESS AND LOVE<\/strong><\/p><p><a href=\"https:\/\/institutodelbienestar.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/image001-2.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-35369 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/institutodelbienestar.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/image001-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"169\" \/><\/a><\/p><p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Some say that calling out abuse is contrary to forgiveness or love, or that it can even promote hatred. But assaults on innocents are not resolved simply by forgiving. Rather, it is necessary for the perpetrator to sincerely repent, make amends, repair the harm caused and apologize. It is at that point that the victim\u2019s forgiveness naturally tends to arrive. It is the fruit the tree produces once the soil has been plowed, fertilized and watered.<\/p><p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As for love, it is generally good, but it does not have to be unconditional toward aggressors. What is more, in cases of abuse\u2014especially if it is cruel\u2014affection above all must be toward innocent victims, aimed at protecting them from the perpetrator.<\/p><p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Affection usually arises naturally from ongoing contact with other sentient beings, as long as some do not harm others. Therefore, for there to be love, the path is to avoid abuse rather than pretending that we love others even though they trample on us. Let us go to the real oasis by the right path instead of following a mirage that never becomes reality because it is merely a mental illusion.<\/p><p style=\"font-weight: 400; text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: #3366ff;\"><a style=\"color: #3366ff;\" href=\"https:\/\/institutodelbienestar.com\/en\/live-without-harming\/publications\/do-not-tell-others-how-they-should-feel\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><em>Read LIVE WITHOUT HARMING! Do not tell others how they have to feel <\/em><\/a><\/span><\/p><p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As for hatred, when an abuse is reported\u2014especially when it is flagrantly cruel and causes significant suffering\u2014it may provoke rejection, antipathy or sometimes even hatred toward the aggressor. It can also provoke it toward any element that causes such evil, such as ideas, books, ideologies, movements, etc.<\/p><p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But that does not mean we should keep quiet and stop reporting injustices. Because to fight them, the first step is to bring them to the surface\u2014both the injustices and their causes\u2014disapprove of them and adopt a critical stance toward them. It may be bitter medicine, but it is necessary for healing.<\/p><p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/p><p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>NOT AGAINST INJUSTICE, BUT FOR JUSTICE<\/strong><\/p><p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Some say that instead of fighting against injustice, one should fight for justice. That one should not take a stand against villainy, but in favor of goodness. They claim that one should not be anti-anything or against anything, but rather in favor of good things, because one must always be positive and never negative. And if someone attacks a wrongdoing, it may sound bad to them\u2014especially if it comes from a group, ideology, or religion they identify with.<\/p><p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But then, if someone kidnaps a poor girl to repeatedly rape and assault her, are we not supposed to be against that and against the rapist? Are we also not supposed to take a stand against Nazism or the Holocaust?<\/p><p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A PERSON OF INTEGRITY IS, AT THE SAME TIME, AGAINST ANY ABUSE AND IN FAVOR OF JUSTICE! Because both are two sides of the same coin.<\/p><p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">By contrast, a naively do-good and understanding attitude toward evil is complicit in it.
