Recently, the case of Jeffrey Epstein has attracted worldwide attention.

wén jiàn文件xiǎn shì显示ài pō sī tǎn爱泼斯坦lì yòng利用zì jǐ自己dequán lì权力shāng hài伤害lexǔ duō许多wú zhù无助dehái zi孩子

Documents show that Epstein used his power to harm many helpless children.

His actions are shocking, but what is more thought-provoking is why some people choose to harm others while some choose to remain silent.

The documents also mention the famous scholar Chomsky, who, although he did not directly do bad things, did not speak out in time against Epstein's scandal.

The article explains through experiments and historical events that when people have power without limits, they are prone to harm others.

Some people are cold-hearted and easily exploit others; some are smart but choose to do nothing when facing injustice.

zuò zhě作者tí xǐng提醒wǒ men我们shè huì社会xū yào需要yǒuguī zé规则zé rèn责任bù néng不能zhǐkàogè rén个人deshàn liáng善良

The author reminds us that society needs rules and responsibilities and cannot rely only on individual kindness.

Only when everyone bravely says 'No' can harm be prevented from happening again.
