We think. Because we are bound to think. And we cannot go thoughtless.
Problem starts when we chase our thoughts blindly without feeling. The consequence of feelingless thoughts is destruction. This explains why humans experienced Hitler, Mussolini, Stalin — ironically the destroyer of Hitler, Mao and all other countless dictators.
The thought leads them. They are held hostage to their chosen thought. Their heart is choked, shoved, thrashed, pounded, silenced by their thought. The result is they only think and their thought becomes destructive.
Hitler thought that if the weak people were destroyed it would do a world of good to the world. The weaklings create problems. They procreate further lines of weaklings. The world gets ridden with weak human beings that ultimately harm the strength of humanity. So it is necessary to get rid of them.
Logically he is correct.
If Hitler’s logic is extended to its logical end, then only one most powerful man will exist in the world as he will only ultimately survive after vanquishing all others.
But then how will life exist?
Life can exist only when it is of service to other(s). In service, life finds its meaning. If one lives for one’s own, sole self, life gets no meaning, no significance. Life loses its utility.
It is in service to others, life survives. Buddha would tell people that the strong should serve the weak. Otherwise there is no need of strength.
Buddha counts strength of compassion, of love. He discounts strength of muscle power.
Here lies the difference between Buddha who thinks with feeling and Hitler who thinks butchering feeling.
So Buddha is prefixed with Lord, while Hitler with pervert.
For survival passion of compassion is needed, not tyranny of perversion.
