Oddly, for someone who isn't religious & doesn't believe in a god, I do believe in good & evil. To quote Isaac Newton "For every action there is an equal & opposite reaction".
So there needs to be at least a balance between good & evil. Preferably there needs to be more good than evil, or Armageddon, the last battle between good and evil before the Day of Judgement, will result as set out in the new testament.
How do we decide where the balance is today? Modern communications mean that we know immediately about wars, pestilence, the climate emergency, famine, poverty, injustice, corruption.....The world seems to be a place that has entered the "dark side". All of the negatives grab headlines. It is easy to give up & despair, believing that alone we can do nothing.
I have to believe that is wrong. I have to believe that the balance will eventually tip towards good - fairness, equal opportunity & justice. I believe in Karma. I believe that in some way at some time the people who live on the "dark side" will get their just deserts.
What we need is all the ordinary people who are good at heart to stand up & confront the "dark side". Not just apathetically say "its' not my fight" or "I can't achieve anything". If the majority stay silent the baddies win. It's that simple. Or the "dark side" will win & then where will we all be? We will be where we ourselves chose.
You have to be counted. There is always a choice.
