They might do so but only if it costs them nothing of value but they will never do it when there are consequences -such as losing power.MadMonarchisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08083008336883267870noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8783969302315257415.post-90568477768437377502015-05-29T17:57:32.754-05:002015-05-29T17:57:32.754-05:00Monarchs and monarchists, as humans are not free f...Monarchs and monarchists, as humans are not free from error, have unfortunately often made the mistake to trust the wrong people. The communists were not to be trusted from the onset. The same, of course, goes for many other republican movements and individuals. When you have honest and good intentions, it is often hard to understand that many others are nothing like yourself. That is, I think, a 'problem' that has troubled many a monarch and monarchist in history. Of course, not a small number of monarchs and monarchists have had to learn about the darker aspects of human nature and psychology the hard way, as they were betrayed by the very people in whom they had placed their impeccable trust. Actually, it is a tragedy that these people were not worthy of the trust that was bestowed upon them by the monarchs and their loyal subjects, because the world would have been a much better place if only these people had reciprocated with loyalty instead of treason. Thus, the real tragedy, in my eyes, is that these people could have fulfilled the traditional duty of any ordinary man to a king who places his trust in him, but chose not to despite the fact that they were, without a doubt, presented with so many opportunities to change their minds, admit their past wickedness at least to themselves, and put a definitive end to their past ways that were obviously erroneous.Dark Linguisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07574494313701550324noreply@blogger.com
