On Pain

Quote:  Pain is one of them. It is the most difficult in a series of trial one is accustomed to call life. And examination dealing with pain is no doubt unpopular get it is not only revealing in its own right, but it can also shed light on a series of questions preoccupying us at the present. Pain is one of the keys to unlock mad innermost beings as well as the world. Whenever one approaches the point where man proves himself to be equal or superior to pain, one gain access to the sources of his power and the secret hidden behind his domination. 

Interpretation: Here I believe Jungar is introducing how pain is associated to life. He makes the claim that in each and everyone of our lives we will experience some sort of pain, and it is one of the most unpopular experiences a human Being will had to deal with in life. The type of pain a person can handle and the type of pain a person experiences sheds light on who the person really is. Pain is a motivating factor in what shapes a person into who they sometimes become. When a person can overcome the pain they experience, whether it be mental, emotional or physical they seem to believe they have gained more control over life. 

Why I chose it: I chose this because it an great introduction to the tone pain sets in life. In another  Leh 300 class I am currently taking, we discuss the lives of soldiers after war. I find that the soldiers who fought in any war, whether it was WW2, Vietnam or the Middle East and survived it without any actual physical harm done to them feel a sense of strength  knowing they overcame such a painful experiencelike war. Pain does two things: but fear in your heart or makes you stronger. I think out of all our experiences at humans. Pain has the most dealings into who we are what we become.

Conformity and obedience is not a real solution to pain because it does not stop pain from occurring but it only decreases the likelihood of pain happening to you.

NAZISM

The following passage: Then, gentlemen, not you will be the ones to deliver the verdict over us, but that verdict will be given by the eternal judgment of history, which will speak out against the accusation that has been made against us. I know what your judgment will be. But that other court will not ask us: Have you committed high treason or not? That court will judge us, their quartermaster-general of the old army, its officers and soldiers, who as Germans wanted only the best for their people and Fatherland, who fought and who were willing to die. You might just as well find us guilty a thousand times, but the goddess of the eternal court of history will smile and tear up the motions of the state's attorney and the judgment of this court: for she finds us not guilty.

My interpretation: here in his conclusion paragraph I find his words and use of words very clever. We see here that Hitler believes although the German people, although the world believes that Hitler has done something wrong, has done something to betrayed Germany he is claiming that he was only doing the best for Germany. Hitler believes that he was tearing Marxism away from Germany to build it a new. he believes in order to build Germany to the best of this potential it had to slay Marxism. During this time of this speech Hitler believed even though the people of the court deemed him guilty and in his mind he believed that history, future history will see him as someone who try to change a world to do something great. He may see that him leading Germany may be one of the greatest profound steps Germany has ever seen in finding grand leadership for its nation. It's quite simple really, Hitler thought that he was doing the right thing and that the current courts didn't understand his purpose to crush Marxism and great something greater than himself.
