It has taken a few days for me to filter the events of Thursday. I have looked at the clips and the ones of QB giving her prompt address and what a lady. I feel for her and was taken by her upfront transparency and candor not to mention promptness of addressing the Netherlands.
Shame on our monarchy...pathetic lot. The monarchy here are warm, affable and human. They are people unlike our pompous lot. Each family reflects the population, do I need to say more?
When Princess Diana died, the Ice Queen remain so, cold, removed and cardboard. The house of Orange QB...was dignified, visible shaken and able to be herself..which is the reason her people feel so able to be as they are.
I cannot explain the depth of the kinship I feel for this country. But there is something inherently warm and open that I shall miss for a long time. Something I have not felt since I left Canada, a belonging.
It was a tragic day and will reap changes for the Orange family and politicians who have been able to move freely here. All because one 'quite' insignificant man decided to demonstrate his personal frustration and take 6 other people with him, injury many, and upset many more who will remember this for the rest of their lives, especially the bereaved and the child witnesses.
I feel no pity for the selfish act of this man. Why did he not just drive himself into a wall an be done with it. Why take so many happy people with him.
I have no more to say...
