Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn Quote

"To do evil a human being must first of all believe that what he's doing is good... Ideology - that is what gives devildoing its long-sought justification and gives the evildoer the necessary steadfastness and determination. That is the social theory which helps to make his acts seem good instead of bad in his own and others' eyes, so that he won't hear reproaches and curses but will receive praise and honors."

by:	Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn (1918-2008) Russian novelist, Soviet dissident, imprisoned for 8 years for critizing Stalin in a personal letter, Nobel Prize for Literature, 1970

More accurate than not, more often than not. Power and greed are also motivators that rationalizes a perception of good rather than self identifying with bad or reproach. The occupying statist theocracy infesting this land is replete with woke ideologues that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!  -- Mike, Norwalk      2
