The Worst Evil..

quotes from
Rabbi Abraham Joshua Heschel
Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

Both of these men called on us to believe and act fully and completely. To them, the worst evil was indifference.

As Heschel wrote, "The opposite of good is not evil, the opposite of good is indifference. In a free society, some are guilty, but all are responsible."

King said, "To accept passively an unjust system is to cooperate with that system. And in doing so, the oppressed becomes as evil as the oppressor."
