It is a soul-wrenching philosophical irony that throughout time the core of Humanity, the essence of what it is to be Man, is either slave or slaver. Bifurcated or Bifurcator
Man was a slave in Egypt and Babylon; he was prosecuted under the Third Reich; he was a victim of Genocides and mass tyranny.
Then Man became the oppressor. He became the slaver and the one committing the genocide.
The lesson from this is not to hate the Oppressor—but to hate MAN who, when pressed, instinctively leans into his own Humanity.
The wheel turns over and over again.
The Nazi or the Jew … the Christian, Muslim, or the Pagan. These are but dividing lines and demarcation points of Man’s creation.
We all have within us a primal urge to bifurcate, hate, fear, and kill. That is what it means to be Man.
That the Jew becomes the Nazi and the Nazi becomes the Jew is perhaps our cruel fate. Man’s destiny is to be slave or slaver; there is no middle ground
