Hitler Today
Today in the age of support groups, social welfare, and humanitarian aid. Could I be so bold as to suggest a decline to our moral sympathies. Although the reign of the nazi terror no longer exists but within ones memories and textbooks. Hitler's morality remains to haunt our societies from coast to coast.
The evil, sheer wickedness of his time was not only genocide but a moral philosophy based on fear, and lack of individual responsibility of ones morality.
We are arrogant to think that today in the 20th century this reality is no longer a threat to mankind.
That is, perhaps because we are living amongst the masses failing to see the destruction of ourselves. We fail to realize we are all victimizers within this intuition called “Society”
We no longer feel an independent responsibility for the care and dignity for those around us. Society created “organizations and forces” to deal with the "others."
Lawyers, Social Welfare, Police, Family Services, Community Aid, and Religion are all formed to benefit those around us. Or to help us avoid others around us?
During the reign of Hitler there was no protection from government aid. There was no where to hid or any protection from the terror. The people who survived did so, not because of government interference, but from the individual, the store keeper, the neighbor, the individual who felt a love and compassion towards mankind, so much so they would risk their own life and that of their family.
Today the sheer selfishness of our needs outweigh the compassion for the individual and so we call in the troops…to save a child, arrest a criminal, cloth the poor, educate the uneducated. The mere truth that we are numbing ourselves to the needs of another through the convenient aid of government agencies. It is far to easy for us to remove ourselves from the genocide when we are not picking up the bodies, or digging the graves. What we are doing is calling in the Nazis to dispose of the problems, are we not?
Mankind is regressing, society is helping, the government encouraging, and we are murdering each other slowly by keeping our hands clean from helping others at individual, personal level.
Morality? A victimizer is above all others, not equal, lacks personal feelings of responsibility and compassion for others. When is the last time you stopped for a hitchhiker in the cold, spent time with the elderly besides family, served a hot meal to your neighbors, and talked to a thieving teenager about responsible morality. Think About it.
