When people talk about who they were in a past life, why is it always English, Roman or Egyptian royalty? Honestly, how many people do you think could be the reincarnation of Julius Cesar or Cleopatra? Don’t you think at least a few people used to be plumbers or investment bankers or something boring like that? We all like to think we were somebody important, but you know, there are many different types of “important”, and it’s not like reincarnation is reserved solely for famous rulers from thousands of years ago. Here are five people wouldn’t mind having been in a past life.
General Patton
Patton gets into the idea of reincarnation in his poem Through a Glass, Darkly, revolving around the concept of a soldier who is born again and again, and who dies again and again in the name of his country. Patton was something of a megalomaniac and pictured himself as the epitome of manhood and the fighting spirit… And yeah, he was right. He also showed the sort of clear headed, direct leadership that we could use in this day and age in any industry, not just the military.
Elvis
Come on, what guy wouldn’t like to have been Elvis Presley? Heck, there’s a whole industry built around the idea of dressing, sounding and acting like the guy. What would an Elvis impersonator like more than to be told that they were once, in fact, the King himself? The King would’ve appreciated this, too, as he always had an interest in Buddhist ideals like Eastern philosophy, the martial arts and reincarnation.
Ben Franklin
Benjamin Franklin was probably the most eccentric, oddball and offbeat of the founding fathers. We know him as the inventor of the glass harmonic, the lightning rod, the Franklin stove and bifocals, but what’s really fun is all the stories of how he came upon his inventions. The guy was willing to try anything to figure out how electricity worked. The kite story isn’t quite how it happened, but there was one incident wherein Franklin wanted to prove to his friends the power of electricity, so he invited them over on Thanksgiving and promised to roast a live turkey in a matter of seconds. Long story short, third degree burns over ninety percent of his body and the turkey went free.
Audrey Hepburn
With so many women wishing they were Cleopatra, you don’t hear anyone saying that they were once Audrey Hepburn. She was definitely the icon of grace and beauty in her time, so why not? Maybe she wasn’t royalty on the political stage, but she certainly was in world culture. We vote her the woman we most wish would hurry up and be reincarnated already. Not only was she graceful and beautiful, she was charming and funny, and she only grew more beautiful with each passing year as she got older.
WWF Champion Andre the Giant
Andre was a wild guy. If you hung out with him, you’d want to make sure you had the next day off work, because if you weren’t hungover, you’d be in the hospital. Even so, you wouldn’t regret it. Andre was known for stealing horse carriages and going on wild chases across town, fighting with the police and generally just raising hell. And yet, you won’t hear any of his friends say a bad word about him. He was that rare personality who could get you in trouble and you’d thank him for it. There just aren’t enough characters like that.
