Integrity in the face of monstrosity

First, they lie to and about you. Then they crawl to you, smiling, bearing gifts. So, breathe. Do you know their essence? what is your core in the face of evil?

They can only get to you if you allow them to. Evil needs the cooperation of the good in order to succeed in its destructive endeavours. Withdraw your sanction, and evil shall by necessity crumble. Evil is by essence parasitic.

Whoever fights monsters should see to it that in the process he does not become a monster. And when you look into an abyss, the abyss also looks into you. —Friedrich Nietzsche
