The Triumph of Evil

"All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good people do nothing."
-Edmund Burke

I think this quote is trying to simply say that by the good people sitting back and doing nothing it allows those who are evil to prevail and be successful. I feel like Edmund Burke is also saying that it is very easy for the triumph of evil to be known. I agree with this quote, I think that the good people have to do things as well, that but doing nothing that doesn't exactly make them good. Some people think that because they're not involved they're fine, but if everyone has that same thought process, nothing will ever be resolved. The 'good' people aren't exactly that if they don't do anything to stop all the bad.
