RE: A YEAR REMEMBRANCE : Understanding the second World War

in #freewrite6 years ago

Well, Hitler said a lot and he certainly wanted war and convinced many Germans that they wanted it too. It is always easy to blame someone else and it is a very dangerous thing to single out anyone for their origin or their religion. This kind of discrimination is only to rampant all over the world.
Hopefully, mankind will evolve some day and understand that we all have more in common than we are different, that war never is a solution and always brings lots of misery, and that we only can survive and strive as people if we all help and respect each other.
I am hoping that that day will come.

Sort:  

I hope that day will come when we will truly learn to respect each other no matter our differences. Looks like not in this generation though.. It's just getting tougher, everyone thinking they are right and the other is wrong. No one wants to compromise! It's sad

We can be the examples. I think every time there is a swing in the direction we don't like things to go, it is even more important to stand with our principles. And Steemit is a good platform for people from all over to come together and to learn to understand each other.

Very true. Steemit I think has been doing this!

Respect each other? 😂 😁.
That day will never come, turn on your TV ma'am.
This world is sick, OK, I think I have to stop here, I don't want to be called a psychopath.

OK, I disagree with your school of thought, maybe because am under the influence of a book am presently reading and I decided to write in that line.
Mind you, I've been infatuated with World War II and Germany for so many years now, the book solidify some assertion of mine.

Well, I grew up in Germany and there was nothing good about that war. Not what happened during or the consequences of the divided Germany. War is always bad. And to destroy people based on their religion, race, sexual orientation or political beliefs is always bad - no matter how it is done. There have been a lot of books written trying to glorify Hitler and the War and they are pure fiction.
Yes, people were suffering after the First War because they had to pay so many retributions. The lesson here is that people will agree to a lot of things if they think they can fill their bellies.
Another argument to make sure that we stop poverty and hunger worldwide.
War is never a solution!
It makes a few people very rich and many people on all sides of the warring parties will suffer greatly.

I never knew you are from Germany, I've screenshot this reply of yours and we are going to discuss this at my reading group.
It's an eyes opener to me.
