I think this is a little over-broad. As written, the only way to be good is to stop all evil everywhere. Or am I missing something?
No, it still requires something the person does or doesn't do (within reason) to influence or allow the evil act. If you see someone being mugged and you ignore it and keep walking when you have the power to help, even if just calling the police and walking away, then yes, that inaction makes you a bad person, IMO. But if a bad guy starts a war on the other side of the planet, you're not evil if you don't enlist and go fight the evil regime.
But like I said, it's all a grey area, there is no black and white good and evil in reality. It's rarely as simple as just "this is good, and this is evil" in real life.
