Accepting evil is worse than committing evil.

Abhijit Naskar
About This Quote

In this quote, Gandhi is encouraging people not to accept evil. The idea behind this idea is that the more you accept evil, the more likely you are to commit evil. You can’t simply ignore what is wrong but also accept it. When you allow yourself to be a part of a wrong situation, you are an active participant in it and therefore you have a responsibility to do something about it.
