"モンスターは存在するが、本当に危険なほどの数ではない。より危険なのは、質問することなく信じて行動する準備ができている普通の人々や役人だ。"

Simplified Meaning:
It means that evil people are rare, but there are more ordinary people who do bad things simply because they follow orders without thinking. For example, during times of war, there are always a few leaders who plan terrible actions, but they would not succeed without many soldiers and officers who carry out these plans without questioning them. This can lead to big problems because these regular people are not thinking for themselves. If we want to prevent harm, it's important for everyone to think critically and not just follow orders blindly. By questioning what we are told and making our own judgments, we can avoid being part of something harmful.
