Dissolution of evil in mind is different from fighting evil in the material reality.
The basic rule for mind is positive. It is doing good and getting good. It is a principle of knowledge and relaxation. The good is in the idea, not in the power of the execution.
On the material level, good ideas which are not executed powerfully have no impact.
On the mind level, excess of power is a problem. If you use a PC or Mac, you just break the keyboard if you use too much force.
The strategy for dissolving evil on mind level is just doing good. The presence of evil is a rich source for doing good.
There might be problems if the brain is drugged or manipulated in other ways, if there is secrecy, lies, irrational behaviour and the like, but eventually these aspects are drawn into the light and dissolved also.

Good 2
Mind is the decisive dimension of everything, and we need to respect mind in order to get a good life. It is possible to get a good life. Not easy and not always socially correct, but possible.
Our mind is naturally deceptive. There are so many things and reactions that feel fine but are bad. To sort out the bad reactions and concentrate on the good ones is an art.
It is also a rational process. If we study the workings in our mind we can see what is constructive and what is destructive. And we can choose the good - after some time. Eventually we can learn to do the right from the beginning.
Typical for a society that does not respect mind and its long term effects is the idea that we can get the good by doing bad. Bad methods - from ignorant ones and lying to violence and killings - can give immediate effects which seem good for some individual in some perspective. In the long run and in the perspective of all, the effects will be bad.
Normally we relate a lot to the external, mainly material world. OK. We can do that, and we can still build a nice mind. We get a nice mind by compassion. However, if we try to conquer an external reality we often try violence rather than compassion. Then we lose.
This is not a natural law in the external world. We might win on the external level.
It is a natural law on the level of mind, that good gives good.

Fragility
What defeated the Soviet empire? Nothing. It collapsed by itself. It was fragile.
In a democratic state the collapse is constant. Every decisions is questioned and often severely critizised. There are frequent changes of power. The whole construct is fragile, but all know that, so new - fragile - structures are erected immediately.
The fragility is a safety measure. If there is no fragility but for example military or economical control, the effects for humans can be very difficult.
The stability - whenever there is stability - is on mind level. Even mountains have "minds" that give stability. This mountain "mind" is technically seen the electromagnetic field that supports the atoms and the molecules in the mountain.
In the human world, the stability is given by human minds. The stabilising factors are agreement and trust.
In the inner world of the mind the difference between compassion and self centeredness is very important. Compassion leads to the good, and self centeredness to the problems. But it seems to be the other way around.
