We all make choices in life, and with those choices come consequences – good or bad. It’s interesting that on this day in 1933, Adolf Hitler became the Chancellor of Germany. We all saw how that turned out – a very bad consequence – for everyone.
Hitler ruined that mustache for everybody. [I]t’s an interesting mustache, and now nobody can wear it… – Larry David, Alec Berg, David Mandel, and Jeff Schaffer
Also on this day in 1948, Mahatma Gandhi was assassinated. Such a peace-loving individual whose life influenced countless others – definitely a good consequence – for everyone.
Let’s make good choices in life that lead to good positive consequences. You may think that what you do with your life is nobody’s business. It’s only true to a certain extent. A person who is determined to self-destruct almost never keeps their plan to themselves. What you do with your life will eventually affect others in your family or your circle of friends.
It’s interesting that there are almost no references or quotes from Hitler, but I see Gandhi quotes everywhere. The world needs to be influenced by good, peace-loving people. We want to hear what they have to say so that we are encouraged on our journey.
An eye for an eye leaves the whole world blind. – Mahatma Gandhi
There are no common traits between Hitler and Gandhi except they both lived as men on this planet. The compare portion of my essay would almost certainly be the shortest part of the paper. They were born, they lived, and they died – one by his own hand because he was about to be found out and one much more innocent – at the hand of an assassin.
In the attitude of silence the soul finds the path in an clearer light, and what is elusive and deceptive resolves itself into crystal clearness. Our life is a long and arduous quest after Truth. – Mahatma Gandhi
Why are the guilty left to injure others and the innocent killed by assassins? God has the answer – I sure don’t.
