Roots (Part II)

So where do I begin in the discussion of this part of the reading. I find myself having a difficult time trying to decipher on what Weil is explaining but it I guess it is worth me trying to figure it out.

Weil makes a statement that reads “…all those who, being in a position to voice their thoughts in speech or writing, contributed towards the intellectual and spiritual atmosphere in which the youthful Hitler grew up-all those who people are perhaps more guilty of Hitler’s crime that he is himself.”  Is she saying that all those people that provoked or brought on negativity made Hitler the way he is. If this is this the case then why couldn’t have been a learning experience to him not to act in the way that he did which was cruel and unusual punishment?  Could it be that there was no one there to teach him the right from wrong? I think he luck out of being able to fill what we have been talking about for the last few weeks which is affiliation. I personally believe if he would have experience that that maybe he would not have been so evil and dislike by many. Like Weil stated before that I guess he just wanted to be a part of history for his wrong doings and that is what is what made him a popular person in history.

She was right we were once in a place that all there was humanity but we are definitely coming to a time where there is a great deal of inhumanity and could that be a sign of the world deteriorating? I guess that is a question that no one will be able to figure out but that is definitely what it seems like.
