25 Unpleasant Facts About History's Best People

[@hectorsmommy1717]

William Halsey said: "There are no extraordinary men... just extraordinary circumstances that ordinary men are forced to deal with." A hero is an ordinary person who rises to the occasion. We need to get rid of this idea that our heroes need to be perfect. Lincoln, MLK, Mandela, Churchill, etc. are no less heroic because of their flaws. In fact, they can be emulated BECAUSE of those flaws: it means any of us can also do good.

[@KayOScode]

Does the same go for someone like hitler? He was just put in an unfortunate circumstance and tried to solve the problem in his own creative way

[@jackalkin6757]

While I will agree with the commentators of this post, there' one other thing, you guys must know. No-one's perfect.

[@hectorsmommy1717]

@@jackalkin6757 Exactly, which was my main point. Should a personal failing discount great deeds? The point was that we should not automatically throw someone in the rubbish bin because they were not perfect. There is no such thing as a perfect human and the good should be weighed against the bad. In some cases, like Hitler and Stalin, the bad far outweighs the good. Others, like those I mentioned and some on this list, the good outweighs the bad.

[@KayOScode]

@@hectorsmommy1717 well yeah, but there are some interesting ethical questions that arise. Do you prosecute a hero who raped his daughter? Most would say yes, but that limits the good they can do in the future. Im not making an argument against doing that, but its interesting. On top of that, I get that no ones perfect, but I have never done the terrible things on the list. Being a hero doesnt give you a free pass, and I consider those who think that it does as non heros.

William Halsey quote.

Aristotle was GREEK, none of the Greeks of the time thought too highly of women.

[@maxwelljacobs8830]

Leah McGrew lmao they were all gay

[@ElicBehexan]

@@maxwelljacobs8830 actually, no, not gay. Women were for making babies and caring for the house. A "youth," or a young man between 16 and 25, who wasn't married, might be "educated" by an older man, generally married. This was considered normal and the idea was that the elder would show the younger things about being a free man in Greek society. Yes, they had sex, with the elder always in control, but that was considered part of the education. Not our way, but also no "gay."

I am a South Asian-Canadian. So I learned a bit more about famous people in India. Gandhi actually REFUSED to support Muslims and Buddhists who were also fighting the oppressors such as the British, French, and other European superpowers. In fact, when the British started killing Buddhist monks in majority Buddhist Sri Lanka plus the uprising lead to a shortage of food. The Sri Lankan people asked Gandhi's help. His response can be LOOSELY translated to, "I will send you shovels to bury the dead and plant trees for food". Mother Theresa is a criminal according to the current Geneva Convention on Human Rights. She forced children into Christianity. She separated children from parents who refused to convert. She refused to help anyone who asks for food but refused god. She plays the judge, jury, and prosecutor, which is against Christian values. Mother Theresa also had a vindictive vengeance against Hinduism and Buddhism. In fact, she advocated violence against Buddhists and Hindus who refuse Christianity by provocation (blocking access to drinking water supplies, blocking access to food, etc, etc. Imagine if someone block access to oil, gas and free-markets to the USA today? Ooops nevermind, they do create wars!). She is a religious imperialist and we will call those people White Saviour Syndrome.

The men do the physical work in and out of the house, teach various life skills, etc., but the women nurture the family, raise/educate the children with meaningful values (schooling included), teach how things are to be taken care of in and around the house and on one's person, but both parents never hold back their unending love and affection for eachother and the family.

The thing about Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. is that he (like more genuine leaders than we want to accept) could bring together the scattered ideals of others and unify them. One of his best quotes, *_A genuine leader is not a searcher for consensus but a molder of consensus. _* is simplified version of that ideology. Jesus Christ also did the same while adding his own words as well, which we are all to do. Also, Abraham Lincoln changed those views on black people on visiting both the battlefield and nearby cemeteries of Gettysburg when he accepted Jesus Christ as Lord. Lastly, the irony that so many Leftists (John Lennon and Karl Marx for example) are some of the most racist misogynist slime on the planet should surprise NO ONE.

One thing to add to Mother Therea. He love suffering. Yes, she belived that suffring brought you closer to god so her "hospitals" were just a place where the dying and in pain went to eb in pain. Hey did not reseave any treatment except to prolong life but contiune suffing. That means no pain killers, moving of broken bones etc. In my opion he was an evil woman.

She even admitted loving to see children suffer, which basically was the motivation for her work. She was one despicable, sadistic little bitch.
