<h1 class="post-title">I've just read about war, murder and Hitler</h1>
<time datetime="2022-06-02T00:00:00+00:00" class="post-date">02 Jun 2022</time>
<p>I have just read Kuo Pao Kuns “Keynote Address at the Southeast Asian
Theatre Seminar on War”. (In Pages 184 to 187, The Complete Works of Kuo
Pao Kun, Volume 7: Papers and Speeches).</p>
<p>He wants to know why people,
numbering in the millions, can desire the mass murder of other people.
He cannot understand why educated people, members of the intelligentsia,
in Japan, Germany and China - and elsewhere - can indulge in this
butchering of human beings.</p>
<p>Kuo Pao Kun is not a psychiatrist, so he
doesnt have the answer. But Elisabeth Kübler-Ross is one, and she has
the answer to Kuo Pao Kuns question.</p>
<p>Kübler-Ross calls it the inner
Hitler: inside each person, there is the potential to become a Hitler,
as well as the potential to become a Mother Teresa.</p>
<p>A girl in Poland -
who has lost her family to murder, during the Holocaust - once asked
her: “dont you think that there is a Hitler inside all of us?”
(source: Kübler-Rosss book, “The tunnel and the light”)</p>
<p>Kübler-Ross gently asks the reader: have you the courage to recognise the Hitler in yourself?</p>
