Since it is universally believed that man is merely what his consciousness knows of itself, he regards himself as harmless and so adds stupidity to iniquity.
He does not deny that terrible things have happened and still go on happening, but it is always "the others" who do them. And when such deeds belong to the recent or remote past, they quickly and conveniently sink into the sea of forgetfulness, and that state of chronic woolly-mindedness returns which we describe as "normality."
In shocking contrast to this is the fact that nothing has finally disappeared and nothing has been made good.
The evil, the guilt, the profound unease of conscience, the obscure misgiving are there before our eyes, if only we would see.
Man has done these things; I am a man, who has his share of human nature; therefore I am guilty with the rest and bear unaltered and indelibly within me the capacity and the inclination to do them again at any time.
Even if, juristically speaking, we were not accessories to the crime, we are always, thanks to our human nature, potential criminals. In reality we merely lacked a suitable opportunity to be drawn into the infernal melee.
None of us stands outside humanity's black collective shadow.
Whether the crime lies many generations back or happens today, it remains the symptom of a disposition that is always and everywhere present- and one would therefore do well to possess some "imagination in evil," for only the fool can permanently neglect the conditions of his own nature.

Man, or experience is a cesspool that it simply is, and takes in all things of the universe with no will of its own, it simply collects and senses experience, good and evil.
Upon further inspection, when zoomed in it becomes less clear what is good and what is evil. Man is a robot, and one should not feel guilty over a robot's crimes, even if one believes that in a past life one was "evil". One simply reprograms the robot, that is, upgrade's the robot's DNA.
