@luxor.obscura: Evil is often imagined as intention. Cruelty. Malice. Desire to harm. But more often, it emerges from denial. From refusing to see the world as it is. When necessary action is postponed in the name of ideals, consequences grow harsher, not kinder. Inaction dressed as virtue can be more destructive than decisive force. #machiavelli #evil #philosophy #power #politicalphilosophy
