40. If evil wins, it would have vanquished all good by now. It's always a push and pull.

The important thing is to stand up for the good. Evil cannot win as long as there are good people to oppose it. And the number of the good is always far more than than you expect. The fight will never end, but a small act of kindness, or a small act of defiance, will always go the distance. Never believe that evil is supreme. There would be no world to exist in if that were the case. We are winning!
