Romans 12:21 - Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good." My parents dedicated their lives fighting to help and not to hurt people. They taught my brothers and I that “The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing,”. Stand up for good in the face of evil!
