Very interesting. Millions of Germans were killed in WWI and their country was laid to ruins. Most families grew up with no fathers. After the Germans recovered and got some power, they used it to kill millions of Jews. Millions of Jews were killed in the Holocaust, after they got some power they used it to persecute Palestinians. You can follow this cycle with various peoples. Persecuted Engish puritans-escape persecution-persecute indians and own slaves- The problem of course is, people are really good at pointing out the evils in others but are blind to their own. This does not mean that anything goes because everyone is evil. It just means, in my opinion, that the first and necessary step to fighting against evil in others is to fight against evil in yourself and your people. Our Palestianian firend Zaki is understanbily enraged over the opression of his people. He says “they crucify our people, they insult us, but we refuse to surrender.” True Christians, like Christ, must surrender. Only after they surrender to God and confess their evil, will they be given the power to challenge evil in others. In the same way, I think we Armenians should always strive to fight our inner evil as we challenge the evils of others towards us.
