The persistence of evil is a constant in human affairs; just when it is thought to have been eradicated, up it will come, sprouting through some crack in the pavement of decent society. Evil need not take extravagant, stereotypical forms, such as those exhibited in Nazi Germany. Garden-variety lies and deceit are much more common and persistent, but must be rooted out just as diligently for good to prevail.
Determination, in the context of this reading, refers to the resolute struggle against evil -- whether in one's social or professional life, or in one's own soul. In either case, definite rules must be followed for the struggle to succeed.
The first rule: there is no compromise with evil. Negative actions must be identified openly for what they are, and openly discredited. The second: one cannot resist negativity on its own terms. New, positive alternatives which lead away from the source of evil are generally much more successful, and appropriate, than the use of counter-force or the application of raw power. The third rule: the means used to eliminate evil must be consistent with the end to be achieved. One cannot stop the spreading of lies by spreading more of them.
