Everybody’s talking about who they were in a past life these days, and it’s always royalty, but let’s be honest, how many of us could possibly have been Cleopatra or Julius Cesar? Don’t you think that at least a few of us were poor janitors in Louisiana in the 1930s? We can’t all have been royalty, but here are five historical figures we wish we were the reincarnation of…
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.
Benjamin Franklin
Without a doubt, the most eccentric of the founding fathers, Benjamin Franklin is most well known as an inventor of the lightning rod and the bifocals, but he’s also remembered for all the crazy stories there are about him. The kite story is exaggerated, but based in reality. He also once talked a friend into joining the army so as to steal his fiancee, and he once electrocuted himself trying to roast a turkey with electricity. If you’re the “Kramer” of your group of friends, who knows, maybe that’s your face on the hundred dollar bill.
Audrey Hepburn
Sorry Cleopatra, but Audrey Hepburn is probably the greatest icon of grace and beauty, not to mention charm. With so many Queen Elizabeths and Catherine the Greats walking around, we wish Audrey Hepburn would hurry up and be born again already. The modern world just doesn’t have a talent like hers.
Andre the Giant
Andre the Giant was crazy, and a lot of fun to be around. He was known to steal horse carriages and go on madcap races across town, and when he drank, there was nobody who could match him. If you’re a fun drunk, maybe you were once a giant pro wrestler. Andre was one of those guys where, even though every story would end in a fight with the police, a beer can tossed at somebody’s head or someone in the hospital, all of his friends remember him fondly, nonetheless. A real wildcat and a great guy.
