Just for the last month, I have read and watched over 10 articles / documentaries / commentaries about Princess Diana. People have been trying to disect her since Day 1 the world came to know her.
Honestly, how could we really know a person whom you only saw in the media? Frankly, do you know and understand your closest friend, siblings and spouse?
We all put on some sort of mask in different circumstances while we play different roles in life. It is unfair to judge Diana and make a conclusion that she was either an angel or a devil. I believe, like any of us, she had both sides.
But see, it's been ten years and her case should be closed. It's time we stopped analysing her left, right and centre. Instead, let us simply remember her contribution to positively influencing people in charitable work and giving the underpriviledged more care and support. At the same time, let us learn from her that our fate is by and large our own making. When we make certain decisions, there would be corresponding consequences. Yes, sometimes it's hard because we can't always be a rational and logical person and our feelings are sometimes overwhelmingly strong. But then, we also need to bear in mind that we must try to control ourselves and not to let our heart and emotions rule unconditionally - that's the mistake Diana had made - I believe. And that's the same mistake we all make in some point of our life.
Well, the world should spare the dead. It's been so long!
