Remembering Historical Figures (1); Manfred Von Richthofen - Crossing the World War 1 Bridge of Acceptance


Dennis Denowski

 


The Red Baron will always be remembered in history, particularly on this 11th November, 97 years after the year he died. He brought devastation to several countries, with 80 kills credited to his name.

Manfred Von Richthofen’s name is best remembered for his aircraft fighting. However, all of us need to cross that bridge of perfecting our war tactics, and focus on developing our peace tactics. It is possible to cross the bridge, it is possible for humanity to do without aircraft fighting.

As impressive as Richthofen might have been, the lesson we should take from his life is to focus on developing our own unique talents. The only sad aspect about most of the great historical figures in the world, such as the Red Baron, was that they did not use their intelligence to promote peace.

Instead, such intelligent men were always convinced to engage in war fare; using that intelligence to bring misery to other people. In light of the conflicts that are already ongoing in the present day, promote peace. If not for you, then for your children who will live to see the next generation.
