For evil to flourish, and for evil to prevail, good people need only do three things:
Close their eyes to it.
Close their mouths about it.
Close their twiddling hands behind them and turn away.
Therefore keep an eye open to discern evil.
Openly denounce it.
With open palm extended, oppose and reject its advances.
All the above from a strictly physical place.
While effective, this cannot begin to approximate the power and certainty
Of the spiritual answer to evil. Openness to that is at the root of the ultimate defeat of the evil one. Seek it. Seek Him. He has already closed the door on evil and opened the door to paradise.
