The Devil's strategy for our times is to trivialize human existence and isolate us from one another while creating the delusion that the reasons are time pressures, work demands or economic anxieties.

We can assume that most people, most of the time, are moral creatures. But imagine that this morality is like a gearshift that at times gets pushed into neutral.

It is then the nature of the circumstances that determines outcomes, not the driver's skills or intentions.

Heroism is the antidote to evil.
