It’s justice versus injustice and right versus wrong! It truly is that simple.

“I told you once that I was searching for the nature of evil. I think l've come close to defining it: a lack of empathy. It's the one characteristic that connects all the defendants. A genuine incapacity to feel with their fellow man. Evil, I think, is the absence of empathy.
