Statue

One of the important people of Helsinki - one of the presidents of Finland (his name is: Kyösti Kallio). I do think about it whenever i see an statue of someone. My mind wander back to the time of that person (statue).

I always wanted to know the reason for making a statue of the person. What did that person contributed that earned him or her an statue or monument. Honoring people that made some great contributions to a country is a good thing.

But sometimes there are some statue as well that i know that those people didn't contribute to the welfare of the country. And i am wondering about why people will make an statue of someone that is not honorable but caused tragic to a country....
