Quote by William Blake

Active Evil is better than Passive Good.

Active Evil is better than Passive Good.

Summary

This quote suggests that it is preferable to engage in wrongdoing or harmful actions with intent and awareness (active evil) rather than simply being a bystander or remaining passive in the face of injustice or wrongdoing (passive good). The underlying idea is that actively engaging in evil, although morally wrong, is still viewed as being more courageous and potentially more impactful than simply remaining idle and not taking any positive action for the greater good. It challenges the notion that inaction, even if well-intentioned, is superior to deliberate and purposeful actions, highlighting the importance of being actively involved in shaping moral outcomes.

I know it, but I'm going to let it go, because i'm the bigger person. Not literally but metaphorically as well. Because I believe what you put into the universe comes back at you times three, which is why I always try only to put good things, not horrible skinny bitch things, into the universe.
