I Want to Know Something I can figure out
Now, I'm reading a book, The Private Life of Chairman Mao . This book was written by Dr. Li Zhisui, WHO was the Chinese ruler's personal physician. It's Difficult to read Because Many persons appeared and were Many things occurred. That's quite a normal historical issues though, I can not get used to tell apart Many Chinese names ... (Also I guess it's hard for non-native Japanese to tell Which Japanese name is for a male or a female.)
I'm very curious about kind of Persons and Their Lives like Stalin, Hitler and Pol Pot. You might think I was crazy. Yes, that definitely sounds right. But there are some reasons why I want to know inside of them. Because I can't understand them and their lives. In other words, I'm not interested in great persons so much, like mother Teresa, Mahatma Gandhi and Martin Luther King. Because I can admire and sympathize with this kind of persons and their lives, so I could figure it out easily even if I had a little information of them.
However about the formers, I haven't understood them yet. Why should they have lived such lives? Why did they have such merciless choices? For that reason I wrote "I'm very curious about kind of persons and their lives". I want to know why they went on their harsh paths. It's quite easy to blame them though, I suppose we can learn more constructive from errors in the past .
I personally think it's important to know dark sides of a person. Light sides of a person could make you comfort and optimistic, but I supposed it would be more important to face negative feelings inside of one and heal them if possible. By that means I want to know them.
