Does Might Make Right?I would like to propose a number of Socratic questions in the interest of the long term survival of the human race.
Was Napolean right to conquer Europe? Was Kaiser Welhelm right? Was Hitler right? Was Stalin right? Was Mao Tse-Tung right? Only you can answer these questions. Is America always right? Is China always right? Is the European Union always right? Is Russia always right? Once again, what do you think?
It is my opinion that the most valuable leaders of the 20th Century were: Ghandi, Martin Luther King, Mandella, The Dalai Lama and all the other people who champion reason and kindness and human rights. I don't recognize any politicians or advocates of brute force and might makes right. Because in the end all brute force is at best, temporary, whereas the people I mentioned will be known just like Confucious has been for thousands of years and all the political leaders of the 20th and 21st century will just be dust.
Just look at Jesus and Buddha and how they are remembered. Where are all the warlords now? Where are all those who only believed in bullying and death? They are all gone and mostly forgotten by all.
To the best of my ability I write about my experience of the Universe Past, Present and Future
