The first idea that the child must acquire, in order to be actively disciplined, is that of the difference between good and evil; and the task of the educator lies in seeing that the child does not confound good with immobility, and evil with activity.I guess of course her quote could be rendered more layered and complicated by talking about the fact that what is considered evil is often understood/defined/arrived at by those in positions of dominance and disseminated down to those whom they actively subjugate. Oh! And that hierarchies, dominance and control aren't usually considered evil. And of course that evil is also often defined in fairly simplistic ways based on the maintenance of societal morals, values and beliefs. So then it follows that bucking societal and/or group norms in and of itself is considered evidence of evilness supreme.
