MONUMENTS THE REMINDER OF OUR PAST HEROES
Hello everyone your welcome to My blog today
Monuments are a way of preserving past events and our past heroes. it took me a lot to understand that there are really no saints around like we have been raised to think and those who do good are just normal people trying to do something good not because they do not have bad sides, but because they want to try improve the world and improve lives irrespective of their bad sides. Some of them might not even be trying to do good, some may have been so wicked but because on the outside it looks good, that is what the world got to know and their true character was never seen.
In history we read about people who did very well in different aspects of life. People who allowed God used them to touch other lives very well in such a way the when they are gone people still sings their praise. Persi I don't want to remember people who did evil while they were alive, unless maybe to use their lives type as a lesson for those who wants to take their steps so that they can see the consequences of such action
Removing the names of important people from school walls, streets, or even remove their monuments, that means that we are erasing them from history, and if we also leave them, it means that we are looking away from what they did. But what I will only suggest is that if we cannot learn from history, the full stories of those people should be told, and nothing should be left out. Their bad deeds and well
It's worth remembering that for these historians and independent researchers seeking the truth about past events, they often need to go beyond the internet, visiting historical sites and observing the monuments erected there, even if they are attributed to people of dubious character. I believe that even these monuments have value, both in helping these researchers understand history and in serving as real and timeless proof to remind people of what happened.
In most situations, if you look closely, there is the possibility that the person awarded was actually a good person, someone who made a good name, did good things for the people, but had just one bad record. Despite this, people would still want the honour retrieved.
The cross where Christ was crucified, which many people use as a symbol in various places, has a sad past since people were crucified there, but for Catholics it serves as a reminder, as this sacrifice went down in history as a lesson not to sell one's honor for silver coins, not to judge others, and many others. It all depends on how people interpret it.
It is always good to honor the good deeds of people through statue or other things is really a good thing to do in their memory remembrance but the bad ones should never be honoured and the already built ones should be removed period because those things have really been used to deceive people . It is a sort of camouflage to humanity and should not be done because it is indirectly deceiving people.
I believe if a person has done something worthy of honor, I believe they deserve to be horned in that regard. If their character is to be questioned then it should be as a point of lesson to others but not diminishing their act of service because if it were that easy to pull off whatever they did, then no one would be talking about it.

Lessons should be learnt from their lives and not diminish their act of service
People like me will still want to honour taken back though.
