There is an evil which most of us condone and are even guilty of, indifference to evil.

We remain neutral, impartial, and not easily moved by the wrongs done unto other people. Indifference to evil is more insidious than evil itself; it is more universal, more contagious, more dangerous. A silent justification, it makes possible an evil erupting as an expression becoming the rule and being in turn accepted.

— Rabbi Abraham Joshua Heschel (1966)
