Is Love and Humility the answer to Personal and Global Peace and Happiness?: A Page from the Life of QUEEN VICTORIA AND PRINCE ALBERT
Photo:bbc.co.uk
Queen Victoria and Prince Albert had a quarrel, as it occasionally happens in a marriage. One word led to another, and suddenly Prince Albert angrily stormed out of the bedroom, went to his study, slammed the door and locked it. Queen Victoria ran after him, knocked on the door and demanded, "Open!" There was no answer.
She pounded the door with her fist and shouted, "Open at once!!" No answer. She shouted at the top of her voice, "I am the Queen of England, Scotland, Wales and Ireland, the Empress of India and of the entire British Commonwealth, I am the Commander-in-Chief of all the British armed forces, and I order you hereby to open this door!!!" Still no answer.
Finally she said in a soft voice, "Albert, I am sorry, I love you and miss you." Now the door opened.
This shows that love and humility are far more powerful tools of conflict resolution and peacebuilding than anger, arrogance and revenge, for example. A lesson to all of us!!
Next time when my wife locks herself in, I would say: Annie I am sorry. I love you. Annie I am for the Common Good!!
