disgusted

Absolutely Disgusted Ive been disgusted about this for awhile but have kept my mouth shut about it. However, last night I saw The Queen, with Helen Mirren, which is a great movie. The Queen, provides great insight into Princes Diana's death with great view into the following political and cultural ramifications that flooded and almost ruined the English Monarchy, as well as divided a whole country. Any who that isn't the point of my rant. The point is, it reminded me of Diana's death and it was a hard movie to watch. The queen who didn't want to be queen but succumbed to her duty, and the reluctant people's princess who chose her own path and rebelled. They are so similar in their dissimilarities one would wonder what would have been, had they both gotten along.

Any way I was a Junior in high school when Diana died, and her death hit me hard. She was one of my heroes, I really did look up to her. Her compassion, her empathy, her willingness to be herself, he rebel spirit, and the way she allowed her self to appear human, with all the faults and fissures of the people who loved her. Also, one cannot deny her beauty and grace and ineffable regality. I was hurt and disheartened that someone...well...those are my thoughts...and I love living in my naivete.

So, eventually I do come to the point of disgust!!! Some roddy bastard has decided upon themselves that it is their lot in life to be the bearer and proprietor of photos that will taint the very image of Diana's perfection that we had been luckily left with. We were left with a timeless and beautiful Princess, who cut down in the prime of her life, would forever have a idolized immortality. Yet, some cretin wants to print pictures of her mangled frame in a mangled car in a tunnel in Paris. The sick f@*k!!! Seriously, are there things that are no longer held sacred. I've seen so much in this world, and I am constantly being sickened. I do not understand why they cannot leave well enough alone. Leave her be, let her rest in peace.

I saw what this country did to Anna Nicole Smith. They rapped whatever small amount of dignity that woman had left. We couldn't even give her a silent death. Controversy around every corner. I wouldn't wish the rapping of a soul, like that, on anyone. People like to blame her, its her fault, she put herself in the mist of it. I am sorry but the poor woman was no smarter than a child and I doubt that all of what happened to her was of her own doing. There are many people who "loved" her who had help in her undoing. (Sometimes a person's need to be loved, will make them do anything.)

I have to say that this country is sick, and there is need for remedy. When hedonistic desire begins to overrule empathy, morality, ethics and most of all faith, even common niceties and compassion, that is when you know that a great nation, any empire, is in the throes of death. Look at all great empires and nations from Babylon to Persia to the Greeks to Rome to the Russians to dying British Empire (whose sun never set), the past never lies.
