Abandonment and indifference on the path to evil? I agree. That is what I saw unfolding at the micro-level in at least one American family. Is this a new cultural phenomenon in the United States with this generation or is it as old as the country?

We do so by recognizing that evil is a shadow that falls where good is negated. If we do evil when we turn away from our obligations to one another via acts of destruction, that implies we do good when we lean into those obligations. Leaving one another alone isn’t enough: It might get you out of the ‘evil’ zone, but it doesn’t get you into the ‘good’ zone. If evil is abandonment, indifference can’t be good, even if it’s somewhere closer to neutral.
