It's not a matter of their personal financial contributions.
I've witnessed many times the fantastic work the Princes Trust carries out for young people in this country. Tens of thousands have benefited from the great work of this charity from all walks of life. Prince Charles has always been the driving force of this organisation, his boundless enthusiasm and endeavours to help the young cannot be questioned.
I met and spoke to Charles a few years ago when he visited the old Victorian mill where I ran my business from. He was keen to talk to as many people as he could and seemed to genuinely enjoy the interaction with us commoners...
"AN UNEMPLOYED builder has been sentenced to three years in prison after admitting to blackmailing a married woman over footage of the two enjoying intimate moments in his 4x4 vehicle.
Garda O’Shaughnessy said Custy and the woman – both from Ennis – had registered on connectingsingles.com and smooch.com."....
Many jokes can offend somebody, sometimes deservedly so as your example well illustrated. But extremely offensive? I make fun of Scousers quite often because here in Manchester that's what we do. They almost always come back with equally jocular disdain.
Personally, I think whether you are in favour of a monarchy or not, it can't be denied this woman has performed her duties to the full in the most dignified manner, has been and still is, a credit to our nation.
Emotion/action, particularly the two combined is almost always a form of projection. Jung reminds us of the ubiquity of projection...
"The general psychological reason for projection is always an activated unconscious that seeks expression. Strictly speaking, projection is never made...it happens, it is simply there."
How many people claim when asked, they are independent?
As desirable as this notion of independence may be, most of our life is a flight from the anxiety of being totally present to ourselves and naked before the universe. We fear the journey spent in solitude, in fact next to the fantasy of immorality, the hardest fantasy to relinquish is that there is someone out there to 'fix it' for us and spare us the burden of individualisation.
Individualisation rather than self absorption is wholeness, not goodness or happiness, not easily attained. The psyche comes across resistance from the unwilling ego when this state of being is sought after.
True independence is a summit too high and for some too unnerving to even consider the journey.
I realised the trueness and perhaps awfulness of our 'aloneness' many years ago during a particularly significant 'trip'. Coming to terms with it is unfortunately taking me a lifetime...
"Maturity implies not so much avoiding being abandoned, but in abandoning ourselves with few illusions...If we succeed in bearing the anxiety of solitude, new horizons will open to us and we will learn finally to exist independently of others."
