No one is free from the Power of Sin and Death. No one has power in himself to help himself. No one can say to herself, well, I’m not a murderer, so I’m not so bad. The widely admired writer Primo Levi was a survivor of Auschwitz. He wrote that the Holocaust showed us that “Man, the human species—we, in short—[have] the potential to construct an infinite enormity of pain, and that pain is the only force created from nothing, without cost and without effort. It is enough not to see, not to listen, not to act.”
