On this day in 1945, holed up in a bunker under his headquarters in Berlin, Adolf Hitler commits suicide by swallowing a cyanide capsule and shooting himself in the head. Soon after, Germany unconditionally surrendered to the Allied forces, ending Hitler's dreams of a "1,000-year" Reich.
After looking back at this and remembering all that i had learned from high school and even teaching myself about this ruthless leader, i look to now. I'm looking at the world today, and I'm wondering in what ways has the world changed since Hitler was out of the picture? Have we come all that far, even now we are genetically cloning animals, and implanting certain sperm into woman based on what they want their children to look like. I'm not at all saying or implying that Hitler was right, without a doubt he deserved what ever he had coming his way, and i wished that he didn't cowardly kill himself so he could deal with the pain that his army and himself inflicted on over 6 millions Jew's. But like i asked before, have we come that far? are we not doing what Hitler wanted to do?
All I'm saying is, lets be who we are. Lets not try to make ourselves to what others accept, but what we accept ourselves to be.
