8.5 pounds of global feeling
The long-anticipated baby prince has been born.
For many, they feel absolutely joyful. According to the BBC, congratulatory messages have been flooding in from all over the world.
For others, they feel tormented by the incessant onslaught. The Guardian newspaper has put a button on its website (only UK and AU versions, not US for some reason) titled “Republican” that allows you to remove all coverage of the royal birth so that you don’t have to feel the pain of seeing this over and over.
For a few, they feel nothing, as they didn’t even know this happened. For others, they feel confused why people still care about the royal family in England.
Many people think that they are not emotional. That they don’t know what they feel. Yet, I’m willing to bet many of you feel something about this royal situation — whether joy, torment, indifference, or confusion.
This is one (of MANY) examples I will share to help you realize that no matter what you think, you feel. Moreover, given the right trigger, you often know how exactly you feel.
