<time datetime="2022-06-02T00:00:00+00:00" class="post-date">02 Jun 2022</time>
|
||
<p>I have just read Kuo Pao Kun’s “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
|
||
doesn’t have the answer. But Elisabeth Kübler-Ross is one, and she has
|
||
the answer to Kuo Pao Kun’s 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: “don’t you think that there is a Hitler inside all of us?”
|
||
(source: Kübler-Ross’s 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>
