This weekend I saw another episode of “Cold Case”……

I didn’t think this was a “great episode”….. but something did get my attention; at one point – a suspect of a murder is explaining a certain quote he made: “triumph of evil”.
He said this was not the full quote – it was just a little part of it….; “All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing”.

Maybe weird; but I never did hear this one before…. apparently this one is written or said by an English philosopher; Edmund Burke!

I do not know how the situation is in other countries; but in Holland we have big problems with people getting violent against police/nurces/ambulance people/fireman/etcetc….
But also just people against eachother….

And we all have the thought of “how and why can this happen?”…..

To me it seems that mr.Edmund Burke has given us the answer….

“All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing”

The quote explained; and lots of slightly different versions
