《The Boy in the Striped Pajamas》 - The birth of tragedy

There is a blue sky, white clouds, the courtyard surrounded by big trees, and then there are swaying swing stands. It is a summer country, an ideal paradise, but it is a real villain. There are countless lives living carefully, bowing to their knees, only for the sake of staying alive and dying, and countless lives die without any clarity. Do you see the smoke all over the sky? It was not smoke curling, it was June snow, it was the ashes of the dead gathered in the sky, and refused to fall. Once upon a time, there was no such smoke in the Schindler list, but here we also smelled the terrible smell.

Live, how about it?
In Schindler list, have you heard the cheerful cry of children "goodbye Jews!" in pianist, have you seen that there is no escape if it is Jewish, alive. In this film, the writer seems to give the answer: "the Jewish stream criticizes our nation, lures our enemies", "laughs at the literary sound of our nationality", "everywhere it comes, the disaster is constant", "our country will die because of it, not far away." That's probably why Hitler killed Judas, right?

I can't imagine that Germany, a country with a great number of philosophical masters and a rational advocate, could have provoked two world wars and even carried out genocide policies. Is it the German who thought so deeply that he was so mad? Or worry too much to pull yourself out? Probably not. The children were obviously under the guidance of the big people without thinking. Is the child really so innocent? no The inherent frivolity and good of children themselves is probably one reason. I have been thinking, if it is you, will you be there too, excitedly shouting: "goodby Jews!"? When you have gone through the vicissitudes, then you say, "that's my youth madness!" It's too late.

But it's not the truth.
The truth is why someone can follow it blindly.
The truth is why there is such a policy.

The truth is that humans create "I" and "us", and "I" and "you" distinguish ourselves from others. We belong to such a group, I am safe, and you, perhaps, enemies, or, are one of those unfortunate people. The truth is that human beings have the organization of the state. "We are born with a place to belong," Kuche said in the chronicle of the year. From the moment we were born, we were subjects. " "The law protects the citizens who are divided and defend themselves." Therefore, the will of the state has never been changed by ordinary people. So being a good people means yielding and obeying.

It's not the truth. The truth is why there is such a national will. If the will of the state is the will of every citizen, perhaps, there will be no tragedy. But economists have shown that this good wish cannot be achieved. The so-called national will can only be the will of a few people who have the consciousness of most people. The will of a few is the will of all in the country. So, if you say that Jews are not good, then everyone has to say, Jews are not good, otherwise, they will fight against the whole country with their own strength.

It's not the truth either. The truth is why such will will become the will of the whole country, even if it is so ridiculous, if there are many voices, if you can express your dissatisfaction, if you are right, the country is really open enough to accept, then tragedy will not happen. The key is that the individual will becomes a national consciousness, and only to this will is to be carried out with a close look down and be honest. This is totalitarianism. The evil of totalitarianism lies in imposing one's will on the will of others. The times of imperial power, warlords and Stalin are not the same. Hitler was a dictator. In the era of totalitarianism, you either evade, execute or be the victim.

But it's not the truth, and the truth is why such will is born? The truth is, who chose such dictators. Will can be attributed to the ugly of individuals, but choice is the result of the people. It is only a moment for the bewitching. But it is not a factor for the public to seek profits for themselves? Life is just to choose an optimal solution for yourself under various constraints - based on spirit or substance. There is desire in life. Some people are depressed and not determined for their whole life. Some people realize their wishes, but they hurt others. this is it.

Can you choose not? When a country has no leader, will you be calm and stable? You need a leader, and I need it. We are all enslaved. Hundreds of years ago, a French writer wrote:
"It is unbelievable that the civilians who were once subjects suddenly forget their earlier desire for independence completely, so that it is impossible to arouse them and regain this belief; in fact, they do their best without urging, and do it fairly freely, and some people will say, on the surface, they have not lost their freedom, but just sit still Slaves. The truth may be that at first, such service was inevitable because of external force; but later those who worked with no regrets and devoted themselves were engaged in the forced work of their predecessors with their free will. "

The birth of tragedy, in fact, we all participated.
