I like this for what it says, but I like the words more. I can’t remember where I read this or what it’s from, but I cannot imagine being able to make this kind of statement. I don’t think I’m near smart enough. Say it out loud for maximum brainy effect.

The danger of trying to explain evil is that we risk falling into the abyss of predestination: that given these life events, this social surround and this personality type, the evil deed was inevitable. Explanation becomes exculpation, and volition gets eclipsed. To understand all should not be to forgive all.

—Unknown

(That last part works for tons more than just evil:  To understand all should not be to forgive all.)
