We, within

“In the cruel and terrible time in which our generation has been condemned to live on this earth, we must never make peace with evil. We must never become indifferent to others or undemanding of ourselves.“
Vasily Grossman, Life and Fate.

In a way, we always had. What isn’t understandable is our incapability to learn the lessons of history. As such, from time to time, evil, with new faces and through new forms, regains what it had lost.

I wonder if “we must” is sufficient. 

It’s not about trying. It’s about being. 
We cannot be indifferent to others nor undemanding of ourselves!
