Subject: RE: BS: Wonderful Jubilee celebrations
Will Fly and Shimrod, my feelings exactly! I have 'enough' and to me, that's all anyone can ask for or need. Folk who constantly feel envy, and want more, wouldn't be satisfied if they were given millions. Happiness is internal, not linked to acquiring wealth. To me, any surplus-to-requirements money I may have (not much I have to say!) goes to help a very poor and needy family in Ivory Coast, and I'm proud to share what I have. The Queen to me represents Stability and Continuity, two very important yet hard to define qualities essential to our national welfare and peace. Change and transience are not always desirable, they need brakes sometimes, and the Monarchy is there to apply them. (Just my view, I know there are those who detest the Institution.)
