struggle for survival. This powerful wish to live is universal and
directs the entire nation. The desire to survive must lead to con-
flict, because as well as being unsatisfiable this desire is also the
foundation of life. The room to live is limited. Ruthlessness is
therefore an inseparable part of humanity! Man became lord of
the earth as the result of conflicts and constant struggle. This is
the superiority not of mankind but of the strength of those who
attain power and dominion. There are differences between races.
The world took its culture from an elite class. Whatever we see
today is all the result of Aryan work and success. However, the
real factor in every race that leads to results is the important indi-
viduals it manages to raise. It is not democratic multitudes that
have shaped mankind, but important individuals. 90

Hitler's perverted rantings influenced a great many at the
time. Tens of thousands of the ignorant signed up to these
assumptions, products of Hitler's imagination. As already
emphasized, the urge for conflict or a ruthless struggle for sur-
vival does not advance societies' progress. All individuals strive
for a wealthier, more pleasant life, but achieving that goal is
directly proportionate to their society's attachment to spiritual
and moral values. Seeking to eliminate others through endless
aggression merely damages all parties. Physical or cultural dif-
ferences do not make one race superior to another. On the con-
trary, in climates where peace and security prevail, differences
are valuable elements that bring about cultural enrichment.
If these differences are to be transformed into cultural rich-
ness, religious moral values are essential. No matter what the
circumstances, God has commanded people to be forgiving,
never to depart from the path of justice, and to treat others with
affection and compassion. Believers know that there is great

wisdom in the creation of different races and nations, and there-
fore act in a spirit of brotherhood and solidarity. Arrogantly
