It is usually argued, there is a bit of hitler in each of us; it is not a trivial argument at all at least in my opinion. In this piece of discussion, this piece of thought, I will be discussing the idea of me, you and each and every one of us of being capable of doing good and at the same time being capable of doing bad things. By hitler I mean this evil character. 

Discussing about the power each of us have, the power of doing good and doing some bad things. To some sense, in religious terms, there is always a fight between God and Satan within us if you like. In that regard, when you try to read and understand the story of Aushwitz prison guards; by the way, you can read the full history of the Aushwitz prison story from the book by Flanklin, Rogers ‘Man search for meaning’. The prison guards who were at the forefront persecuting weak men and robbing all precious materials of the prison men, they are the ones that also in the end helped and took good care about the prisoners in the end. I enterpret the story in a way that when one little thing change, other difficult courses of actions change as well. When the Nazi where defeated in Germany and all prisonners “released”, the guards started the care about the prisonners even before that. Introducing a new idea here, we can also see the power of education, the power having knowledge in something or of something. 

Generally speaking, we have seen human beings that have been evil beyond comprehension (Hilter, Mao, …) but we have seen other very good men doing good (Red cross, saving burning child, etc). The story of Christ I think is a good example portraying how human being can be good beyond loving themselves. Maybe we can learn something else from this story. May be doing good for others wholeheartedly result into resurrection? What do you think; It was written that Jesus took a Boulet for us I would say through bearing our sins on the cross; and this, as result, brought something very important, defeating the death. Well, one point might be raised, I don’t want to be evil, I don’t want to do evil, how can I behave and what can I do? If you are not sure if what you are going to do is evil or good, listen to yourself carefully you will know the answer and the course of actions to take;

To finish this piece of writing, I can’t agree more that there is always a discussion, an argument within us judging us on every action, every word we dare to say; I mean anything you are going to put out that will reach people; because nevertheless, you should expect comments from whoever will have time to judge your work, your deeds, your words. And if you don’t know what to say, just say something that you believe with your heart not something that you think the people around you will like or approve! Very important, we fear being not approved from our community or friends. 

Want to challenge the idea, why not? Waiting to read through your comments. 

PS. the short writing is not for educational purposes but to highlight some ideas that you might love exploring and find out for yourself.
