The Tragic End of Adolf Hitler

Adolf Hitler, one of the most infamous figures in history, met a tragic end in his bunker in Berlin. Knowing the merciless nature of Joseph Stalin, Hitler chose to take his own life rather than face the consequences that awaited him. This decision has sparked much debate and speculation over the years.

Avoiding Capture

Hitler's decision to end his life can be seen as an attempt to avoid falling into the hands of his enemies. He knew that Stalin, the leader of the Soviet Union, would not show him any mercy. Rather than facing a public trial and the possibility of being humiliated, Hitler chose to take control of his own fate. It was a desperate act, but one that allowed him to maintain a sense of power and control until the very end.

The Controversy Surrounding Hitler's Death

Hitler's decision to commit suicide has been met with mixed reactions. Some view it as an act of cowardice, a way for him to escape the consequences of his actions. Others see it as a final act of defiance, a way for Hitler to maintain his image as a strong and powerful leader. Regardless of one's opinion, it is clear that his death marked the end of an era and the beginning of a new chapter in history. It is important to remember that Hitler's actions and beliefs were deeply disturbing and had devastating consequences. His reign of terror resulted in the deaths of millions of innocent people and left a lasting impact on the world. While it may be tempting to view his death as a form of justice, it is crucial to recognize the immense suffering he caused and the need to prevent such atrocities from happening again. In conclusion, Hitler's decision to take his own life was a tragic end to a dark chapter in history. It is a reminder of the horrors that can arise when power falls into the wrong hands. As we reflect on this dark period, it is important to learn from the past and strive for a future free from hatred, violence, and the rise of dictators.

After UCLA College of Letters where I obtained PhD is Philosophy, Psychology and Religion I got a teaching job at the University. I felt uneasy teaching. I applied for a job in the mental health field; I got many offers and within two years was running the mental health center where I worked, supervising psychologists and psychiatrists who have been in that field for many decades.

Eventually, I felt bored by the job (of been executive director...I was barely thirty two years old when I was the executive director of the largest mental health agency in the city where I lived) and quit and tried doing other things.

Nothing I tried worked out for me. So, I did other executive director jobs but eventually wound up quitting and returning to college teaching until I felt that teaching is too easy for me; I felt unchallenged being a college professor (I filled my time writing on assorted subjects that interested me).

Eventually, I realized that I have a destiny and fate. My normal routine is to read until I go to sleep (although there is a huge TV in the house, I seldom watch it) and get up around 5 AM, think for a while, and then go to my computer and type the thoughts that I just had in my sleep.
