In
the balance sheet of good and evil, what's the score? I wonder if
anyone's ever compiled statistics. My ignorant guess is that the good
far outnumber the evil, but the evil that the evil do is so terrible
that it wipes out vast numbers of those who were doing good, or would
have done good had they not died as babies. So statistics are useless.
Look at this devastating tower block fire: even if it started accidentally, it is not an accident. It is a crime and those responsible for it happening cannot claim innocence - they're on the side of evil, active or passive. The heart-stopping evil of strangers.
And look at the good pouring into the neighbourhood, bringing help, support, shelter, food, clothes, sympathy. The heartbreaking kindness of strangers.
