Reacting To Evil

Prompt: French Philopsher and activist Simone Weil said: "Never react to evil in such a way as to augment it. What is your interpretation of her words?

I think this means you shouldn't be evil because someone is when you're mad about something. I think everyone overreacts to mean comments or insults. It is just human nature. If someone does something evil or illegal to you, call the police. It is their job to handle it. As for insults, insult back or just ignore it. Grandma always said silence speaks louder then words. I have done this more then once especially at my job. I just let it go like in the song Elsa sings from: "Frozen." If I have to give an insult, that person will hear it. I get on with my life. I am an animal activist and if someone hurts an animal in front of me, I will punch their lights out, slap them then call the authorities and take the animal. I try not to react to evil in an evil fashion. This is my outtake on this.
