Understandings

"And they said, Go to, let us build us a city and a tower, whose top may reach unto heaven; and let us make us a name, lest we be scattered abroad upon the face of the whole earth." After being on an arc, we started to change ideas of what we used to have. We got so used to seeing humans every day, we forgot about what we used to believe and the other god's creatures. God got jealous so ,"Go to, let us go down, and there confound their language, that they may not understand one another's speech. So the LORD scattered them abroad from thence upon the face of all the earth: and they left off to build the city."

Why is is that we try to blame everything on someone else? We can never believe that it is our fault. I mean, the missunderstanding is because of the difference of languages. It has to be because of someone elses mess-up. We can never be at fault. Not only us a human race but us as individuals. We also strive to have the power that's whay we strive for money. These papers give us the intoxicating power. We saught this power creating the babel tower. A tower so high that put us close to a level of god. Therefore in a way we get a littlo of his power.

The tower of babel is a sign of racism. The beggining of all prejudice . Because of not being able to understand eachother, conflicts arose. Maybe that's why Hitler tried to "purify" the human race. To go back to the original meaning of the bible. To end all conflict, trying to create a eutopia. Maybe, jus maybe, he thought that if all humans were the same, that thre'd be no further conflict between them. Although I think that in some degree, he knew that this was imposible. Maybe on a physical level it could be accomplished, but on a psychological level by no means could we all be the same.
