In reply to the discussion: Buckingham Palace announces King Charles diagnosed with cancer, will step away from pubic duties during treatment. [View all]Maru Kitteh
(31,796 posts)46. I'm sorry Raine. It was nothing against you and I understand what you are saying. I'm just
incredibly jaded from watching way too many older men and women give up and die in the face of such diagnosis because they are not valued and they do not have the means, the resources, their own staff etc. to deal with it. Here we have a case of a single man of no REAL consequence who has enjoyed massively disproportionate and inflated importance from BIRTH and all the way through his life.
Someone else on this thread said they feel exactly the same amount of sympathy Charles would feel upon hearing that they had received the same diagnosis. In other words, little and not for long. I agree with that and find it fair.
Again, It was nothing against you in any way, at all.
