So interesting, Marcia. It’s all well and good to believe what the late Anne Frank did, that people are basically good. I wonder if she changed her mind at Auschwitz. I’m all for seeing goodness all around me. I work at it. I’m also all in for recognizing wanton cruelty and blatant mendacity and realizing that goodness is not a part of those equations at all. If we don’t recognize evil for what it is how can we appreciate the true goodness in this world?

No one can feign goodness like a truly dangerous villain.

I love the distinction between someone being good and someone being safe. It all just boils down to that
