For me, the words good and evil have too many connotations with religion and so I prefer to use the terms moral and immoral instead. I am always shocked by how easy it is for perfectly ‘ordinary’ people to perform totally immoral acts. I was reminded of this very recently after reading the book ‘Ordinary Men: Reserve Police Battalion 101 and the Final Solution’ by Christopher R. Browning. The book shows how men from many walks of life will, under the right conditions, perform acts such as mass shootings of Jews with little or no compelling or coercion. Many of the men involved became so totally desensitised to the killings that they looked upon them as merely routine. Very few showed enough moral courage to refuse to take part. It is easy for many of us to say “I would never do that” but it is worrying to think how I would behave if I was put into that moment in time and the same situation as those men. I hope that I would have the strength of character to say no. I do have the uneasy feeling however that many of us are precariously balancing on a tight rope of morality and it wouldn’t take much to tip us over into immoral acts. Very thought provoking post. Thank you.
