But the result of this dynamic is that many people of good will are—understandably and not out of cowardice, although there are cowards aplenty these days!—tempted to give up, remain silent, and watch it all unfold. Leave public life, bunker down, move inland, etc.

The tension between these two truths is now felt in many souls.
