How Can Markle Sparkle Make Things Better?

 

Dear Reader,

Well, Ms Winfrey earned more to boost her billionaire status, yet without eliciting anything more than the suggestion that the whole world should be in sympathy with Megs. According to the interview, she has been so harshly treated by a totally unfair and biased Royal Family. And the proof?


Reading the Daily Mail today (I only buy it on Saturdays - essentially for their excellent TV guide) it exuded headlines about a 6-page revelation of the truth about this bizarre matter. I hesitated to read it but did so just to see if there was anything worth gleaning. In fact, those pages did nothing more than to state bare facts without becoming sensationalist in the slightest. It was actually quite well done and showed just how much fabrication there has been by Mr and Mrs Markle (er, Harry and Megs). 

There were glaring inconsistencies in their stories during the interview anyway, but Ms Winfrey made no attempt to probe those. After all, the whole world is supposed, is it not, to be wrapped up in the issue about racism and Megs, therefore, must have been subjected to racism because she said she had been. Once upon a time, I thought Ms Winfrey was a competent and truth-seeking interviewer, but no more.

So, racism is today's big issue it would seem according to the hoi palloi. It is to be placed above all concerns about pandemics, climate change and all the many other evils that co-exist in this world. Some are inferring this, but I am glad to hear many black people in the UK who are not taken up by Ms Winfrey's crusade via the Merkles. For probably the first time, I am even in some sympathy with Piers Morgan!

However, the simple fact is that injustice does exist in the world and it always has been there. There is nothing new about that and there is little cause to make racism an extra special case. Discrimination and wrong-doing exists in every aspect of daily life at every level, and even Ms Winfrey is surely guilty of that by making such a special case out of this, and for the sake of what? Promoting ill-will towards the Royal Family by the looks of it, and suggesting that the Royal Family needs to conform to what the USA says it should do! Remarkable for a country that's only just ousted Donald Trump after electing him in the first place.

If Harry and Megs are really so concerned about fairness, I would suggest that they concentrate on doing good works akin to those carried out by members of the Royal Family, such as Harry's father and Princess Anne. Neither have the time of day for popularism and just want to get on with what they think is important - and which is important. They act as reasonable exemplars of how duty should be carried out. If some think they are stuffy then let them think that, in my view, but let's not expect change just because a mob decides it should be so.

If the world is to be in sympathy with Harry and Megs then these two should just learn to live their lives privately and demonstrate by their actions what they're about. The truth about themselves is demonstrated by how they live their lives. Indeed, that applies to all of us - sympathy should not be given just because we say we deserve it, and certainly not those who regard themselves as being so important - and are not financially suffering.

Thank you for reading this.

The Failure Of Universities In A Disunited World - And What To Do

Dear Reader, Hello! It has been a very long time since I wrote on this blog. There have been circumstances that have prevented this of late, but, at the same time, there did not seem to be much else of any importance that needed to be said that was different from what I had already posted over the preceding years. A sabbatical was appropriate. Truth transcends opinion? Some may say my posts are only my point of view anyhow, and that other opinions exist. The question arising therefore is whether that is a valid view, or is that a view that we have been educated and/or feel obliged by society to accept? Perhaps we need to study whether there is a Truth that transcends opinion. Perhaps we need to study ourselves thoroughly to understand the world. As Socrates once said: "The unexamined life is not worth living." I try to relate only what certain ancient teachings say about the application of wisdom in our lives, knowing that is what the future is to bring about. Materialism, s

Are World Events Bringing About The Biblical Armageddon?

Dear Reader, I emerged out of World War Two as a one-year-old and what I encountered in the aftermath, as I grew up in a reasonably happy family in the UK, was a note of positivity. No one wanted any more wars after 10 years of extreme suffering spread over 30 years; 10 years in which many millions were killed or maimed. These wars had been too close to home. The UK was set back on its heels having been virtually bankrupted by a war effort to - ostensibly - retain a free world. What the UK populace called for in 1945 was peace based on social justice and opportunity for all. A General Election brought a sea change in the kind of national government wanted, a government that was committed to much-improved education open to all and a healthcare system to replace the unaffordable to most system that was previously in place. These things happened, or were initiated, but not without experiencing severe austerity to help pay for it. But the fact that these changes happened created improvemen

National Growrh - But Any Kind Of Growth?

Dear Reader, Today's world is virtually indescribable. The UK's new government thought they would be welcomed as heroes with their planned American-style race for growth, but have been pulled down by both members of their own party and the business market, both of which are supposed to support this flavour of government. Yet it is we voters - in a roundabout way -  that   put them there. A number would say it was the Tory membership that put them there, but that is not so. A chain of events got them there since the 2019 election. Does that say something about the electorate's muddled thinking? Just what sense of life values do we possess to make this possible? These politicians are only a reflection of our own attitudes as a society that became more and more relentlessly attached to individuality and our possessions and worship of material success and glitz rather than the nation's good, socially and environmentally. And we cannot seem to see a practical alternative. Li
