A HISTORY LESSON
What Hitler Proved The World
Thinking about it now, I’d like to take Hitler as a veritable subject when it comes to social psychology. I know not the man, nor am I an expert on his background… I just happen to stumble upon lots of facts and figures, seen documentaries, read articles regarding the Man Who set the world in Holocaust. Idealist, outstanding leadership, intelligent, dictator, mass muderer, and so much more. He was a man, who dreamed of being a god. Modeled himself to be a god and promised to make everything wrong– right. Noble deeds. He was a good model though…for all of us to see. Of right becoming wrong.
He was a man of pain and triumph. A one-of-a-kind Cinderella story. A simple jobless man of the streets, who fought hard against the plight, and in the name of the hard-working class. He was a hero. And all in his political victories, people saw him as a sign of hope. A messiah to save everyone, and made right all the wrongs visible during that time. Of course, historically, he never won in any electoral mandate, and it is by chance, fate even, that he had risen into power without being voted for by the people–only trusted. Heavily trusted. He is a fine example of being in the right place at the right time. What Hitler, the man proved to the world, is clearly visible with us, up until this day.
He proved that rags, can turn into riches. The powerless can become powerful. Careful marketing is a must when it comes to planning of conquering the world. Hunger can be beneficial to one's personal agenda. Hopes can be pinned on empty promises. An ordinary ornamental design can turn into one powerful symbol that everybody will respect and fear from– up until today (and basically the coming days). Grand, lavish and exciting variety shows entertains the masses. Of which are perfect, to serve as diversionary tactics to what is really happening behind the curtains. A person need not be a robot to act like one. Experimental procedures are not confined to rats, that it gave an overview in the medical field of what the human body is made of and what it can take. Inhumane as it is, we can get rid of each other just because of imperfection. Funny, when all of us are imperfect entities trying to be perfect. Being user-friendly is a must decorum even during those times. By charm alone, one can convince the world that he/she is good, and never meant any harm. Power, can be used either good or bad…sadly, most of them who do obtain it, chooses the latter, for it is much more personally beneficial. One can still find a companion in, after being taken for granted in a long time. Especially, when everything is lost and already at death’s door. Dreams if not tackled realistically, will always remain unfulfilled. Labels and tags became an essential tool for distinguishing the good, the bad, and those that cannot be defined. It can be good at some ways, but bad when the intention is without understanding. Leadership depends upon the intention of the leader. The intention of a leader always boils down to the intention of the person itself.
And of everything that Hitler proved, it was this: a man can be greater than what he dreamed of to be, as it was his destiny– especially when he could go the lowest of lows of being less than a man.
