Royal Wedding

Why are so many people so deeply attracted to the royal wedding?  Is it a desire for our own happiness?  Is it to see all the fancy attire and ceremony?  Is it an opportunity for you to live vicariously through them?  Is it simply a matter of us being curious and/or nosy? 

#RoyalWedding has been trending on Twitter for a couple of days and it is plastered all over the television.  Do you think this is really necessary?  If sharing in their love and joy is your reason for watching, then I find it wonderful.  But, I think far too many people want to watch just out of nosiness.  If those watching are truly honoring the beautiful bride and groom, then it is beautiful and amazing.  But, when they are just putting the bride and groom under scrutiny, then it is unacceptable. 

So, if you are watching today, ask yourself why.  And, then if you are truly honoring this beautiful couple and wishing them well, I honor you.  But, if you are just being nosy, be honest with yourself and turn away from it and focus on what is truly important to you. 

Love is divine and should always be honored and not made a spectacle of by those who do not honor it.
