"Silent Night" Truce
By now almost everyone of us knows about the Silent Night Truce on Christmas Eve 100 years ago this year, where there was a spontaneous truce between German and British soldiers. However, this past weekend the Wall Street Journal had a very insightful article on the subject and how this sort of cooperative behavior isn’t that unusual. Here’s a link to the article if you are interested. http://www.wsj.com/articles/the-spirit-of-the-1914-christmas-truce-1419006906
This is excellent! It’s amazing how thoroughly the vast majority of humans just don’t want to kill each other, despite all the propaganda about their evil foreign foes.
I love the spontaneous, “no fighting during dinner” truce!
@mikereid Now if we can just define dinner as a 24-hour a day, 7 day a week meal!
Thank you, gentlemen. I’ve been studying this subject for a while, and hope to post a more thorough article later. Things are a bit more positive than we are led to believe by the media and politicians. Gee, what a shocker.
