What makes people different is the idea that reality (or, if you prefer, God) can be wrong - that truth can be evil and that the laws that govern existence can be broken. It's an ancient idea born of a perspective that couldn't tie a shoelace. It got nailed down as a belief and has become an assumption that repeatedly drags people back to the primitive perspective that spawned it.
In other words, it DOES control one's attitude. One's attitude exists in the same reality and is governed by the exact same laws and when that belief gets activated by things you don't like, you are instantly transported back to the perspective that spawned it - the perspective that says "Reality is broken." to make it logical because that's the ONLY perspective in which it IS logical. Assumptions require the perspective from which they spawned, in order to make sense.
So, rather than examine the veracity of the assumption - assumptions being the stubborn buggers they ARE - one must return to the perspective from which the assumption makes SENSE. It makes for a very interesting, roller-coastery experience of life. The GOOD news is that it's FINALLY getting boring enough to prompt people to "ask the right questions".
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
