Reply #34: I've been making jokes about half the population

[Lilli]

really being alien pod people who just parrot what they are told...and I was only half kidding. :) Its insanely disconcerting to see people I love walk cheerfully off the cliff. I'll NEVER understand those people. I do NOW understand, however, how Hitler happened.

I think a BIG part of the anger comes from disapointment. We have emotional investments in the people we love, and its hard to accept that they could choose to allow this horror to continue. But they did. Usually smart compassionate people making unthinkable (to us) choices.

I think thats where faith has to kick in. Faith that they may come to see the truth. Faith that there is something more to this mess than pure greed and lunacy. I think that all I can do it plant my feet firmly on a very narrow path, point out what truth I see to those around me, and keep moving forward.
