Imagine you in elementary school. You want to do your best, in school, and become the greatest you can be in life! Your whole life is ahead of you, and you can do anything! You have a few interests, and you have the rest of your life to pursue them!
It's middle school, and you still have the whole world at your feet. Anything is still possible.
It's high school, your dreams are waning, and you realize what you wanted in life may not be, but that's luck.
You're an adult. Somehow, you've made it to a substantial position, where you can influence things--things, to hopefully help your country heal.
And yet...You depart life forever known as one of the most hated men in history.
Who could have known when you were a kid you would end up hated by all? When you were a kid, you hoped you would be successful--to grow up and be admired!
But you just grew up to be Hitler.
Hopefully, I've portrayed the kind of sorry I feel for Hitler. Obviously, he did some pretty bad things (and that's an understatement), but I still feel bad for the child Hitler who didn't know what he would become to the world.
And that's what I wonder every day.
"I grow up now with the best intentions in my heart. But will I be the next Hitler?"
