"怪物是存在的，但它们的数量太少，不足以构成真正的危险。更危险的是普通人，那些准备相信并采取行动而不问问题的官员。"

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.
