Thoughts on the passing of Queen Elizabeth

Rest In Peace queen Elizabeth. I know the monarchy does good deeds that go unseen and I also know they aren’t innocent. But Queen Elizabeth seemed like a good leader for a Monarch. My mom pointed out that Elizabeth shook the hand of an Irish official who may have been responsible for blowing up her uncle for the purposes of reconciliation. An example of positive leadership that can help us avert spiralling out of control conflict. I don’t know much about the royals like I thought prince philip was her brother this whole time. I think it’s fine that a state of England would support a monarchy as head of state figure head. To me it provides credence to an act of humanity in that we could aspire to support all families as one big human family. Monarchies are part of human history and are just one hierarchical organization amongst many. There’s tons of organizations that are worse. In fact that bumper sticker which says "Coexist" kinda has it right. There are ideas and formations humanity follows through its history and many of them are going nowhere unless all civilization explodes, so we have to figure out how to bring everyone to the table and survive and take care of the earth and each other in accordance and in spite of people's beliefs and traditions.
