The Christmas Truce of
1914
History holds that during
Christmas of 1914, during World War I, troops from both sides
(French and English vs.
Germans) called a truce during
the war. The belief is that the Germans set up signs in broken
English that said, "You no fight, We no fight." There was an
exchanging of gifts and even a few impromptu soccer
games.
Where is this kind of spirit
now? Men were able to set aside their differences and remember what
the season was all about in the midst of a war, yet we are unable
to set aside our politics and give each other a break in order to
spend time with our families
Memebers perhaps we should
take a lesson from soldiers from 99 years ago. Instead of fighting
battles about our differences and making SURE we are heard, perhaps
we should look for what we have in common.
Today is Vesak Day, many of us
here is Buddhist.
