From evil to good is everyone's path

If humans are still animals in the final analysis, then the behavior of war is not fundamentally different from the law of the jungle in the animal world.

But after all, people are different from animals, because we can think. And from evil to good is the way of mankind. I think the evolution process of human beings has never stopped. The Jewish nation is a victim of the advancing wheel of history. This is the tragedy of their race, the tragedy of the German nation, and the tragedy of our entire human race. In fact, we are also victims of the evolutionary process. Looking around, even in this relatively peaceful world, there are still many tragedies happening. Domestic violence, rape, elder abuse, and more.

The only thing we can do is to remember these histories so that the tragedy will not happen again. No one is immune to the despicableness of human nature, and everyone has an unchangeable inferiority. But the ability of subjective choice cannot be given up because of the reality of the objective world. The stories that have overcome the meanness of human nature are the most glorious moments of human nature. For example, compared to animals, like them, we can do whatever it takes to live or choose to die with dignity. The struggle between good and evil has continued since human records began. Everyone can recite several such stories with familiarity, but in the end, some people choose to do bad things. This is really frustrating.

I don't believe there will ever be a communist society, but I'd rather work towards that goal with such hope. Who can say for sure where it will go. But working in the right direction is not always bad. We have to pass on the good side of human nature just like discarding the tail and discard the evil side. Let our children and grandchildren live a more free and happy life.

Some of the great artists have helped us document those ugly moments, while others have sung the shining moments for us. May you and I not disappoint their efforts.

    We are deaf to the pain of human nature's never-ending suffering. We pretend to believe that such a tragedy will only happen once at a certain time.

    The grass is green, and the hair is full of mountains; "Building a concentration camp is no different from building a hotel or a stadium"; they said, "The responsibility is not mine"; "When these pictures become the past, we pretend to be full of hope again, just like in a concentration camp. Suffering is healed, we pretend it will only happen once at a certain time and place, we are blind to the things around us, and deaf to the never-ending cry of humanity.”

Night and Fog quotes

  • Récitant/Narrator: With our sincere gaze we survey these ruins, as if the old monster lay crushed forever beneath the rubble. We pretend to take up hope again as the image recedes into the past, as if we were cured once and for all of the scourge of the camps. We pretend it happened all at once, at a given time and place. We turn a blind eye to what surrounds us and a deaf ear to humanity's never-ending cry.

  • Récitant/Narrator: 1933 - The machine gets under way. The nation must all sing the same song, with no wrong notes.
