"Possessed by a demon, 125 people died!"It's a thrilling story, but the hidden evils of human nature are thought-provoking. An ancient philosopher once said: Human nature is originally the best. During World War II, an ordinary German soldier became so cruel that he picked up a military uniform and claimed 125 lives. Does this hint at the inherently evil side of human nature?In other words, is human nature good or evil?
Let's take a closer look. Historically, there is no doubt that the evil of human nature exists. During World War II, the German ** team was losing ground one after another, and the soldiers chose to flee one after another, wanting to escape the threat of death. And this ordinary soldier Herold was no exception. With a thirst for the future, he fled the battlefield. However, when he picked up an officer's uniform, there was a shocking change in his heart.
The reason why Herold became cruel and ruthless may be precisely because the evil of human nature is magnified under the influence of external circumstances. According to psychological research, people will behave very differently in certain environments. The Stanford Prison Experiment has shown that ordinary people can also show a cruel side in certain circumstances, and the evil of human nature does not depend on certain individuals.
Although Herold came from an ordinary background, his psychological state when he fled from the army was far from being comparable to the average person. Not only did he put on a military uniform to blend in with the army, but he also personally dealt with deserters and mercilessly tortured others. This kind of behavior is beyond the comprehension of ordinary people, and it also shows the evil side of human nature. Even in the face of life, Herold has no mercy, which is even more chilling.
The evil of human nature is not only reflected in Herold's cruelty to his comrades, but also in his ruthlessness towards innocent civilians**. He sees his evil deeds as a means to satisfy his desires, and this twisted human nature gives him great pleasure in his madness. This disregard for life and the pleasure of suffering of others is the most direct manifestation of the evil of human nature.
However, even if there is an evil side to human nature, we cannot ignore the beautiful part of human nature that yearns for sunshine. As the ancient philosophers said, although there is evil in human nature, there is also a good side in human nature. Each of us should choose to be firm and good, not to be dominated by demons, let alone harm others and life.
Only in this way can we truly sublimate our humanity and allow the forces of goodness and peace to take over our hearts. In this world full of ** and trials, the light and dark moments of human nature are intertwined. And each of us needs to maintain the pursuit of beauty in our daily lives, and let the light of humanity illuminate our way forward. May we treat others with kindness and tolerance, and make society full of warmth and love.
