“For a very long time everybody refuses and then almost without a pause almost everybody accepts.”
― Gertrude Stein

Evil grows gradually on us and we become acclimated to it and then accepting. When people we love become part of what is wrong it becomes harder to continue to see the evil as wrong. Our love becomes emotion and we “feel bad” declaring evil bad because then we are calling them bad too. So we declare the evil to either not be bad or even worse we declare it to be good! Hope and grace are then left out because we do not seek grace for something that is not bad and hope is not needed to help them battle the evil. Evil makes grace and hope seem unnecessary and leaves us defenseless as it destroys us.
