Has anyone listened to the latest theories on Richard III's murder of the Princes?

Philippa Langley and a massive team have worked for seven years to prove the Princes were not murdered in the Tower.

Podcast : https://podfollow.com/gone-medieval/episode/177b82aa71d267709ac57caead96cf469f7731a2/view

Also on the UK TV on Channel 4: https://www.channel4.com/programmes/the-princes-in-the-tower-the-new-evidence

I was fascinated, and quite convinced by the latest findings.

What does everyone else think?

Maybe only one thing about us is true, no matter how much we think we know, we know nothing.

How do my #ActuallyAutistic comrades feel about spirituality?

Not religion, per se, but spirituality.

So here's an end of roaming
On eves when autumn nighs:
The ear too fondly listens
For summer's parting sighs,
And then the heart replies.

I don't disagree with any of that.

But let me offer an analogy. Maybe even an allegory, if that's not unduly pretentious.

Someone hurts me. We have a conversation. They agree that they hurt me, and apologise. I forgive them. Sometimes it works out that way, which is great.

Someone else hurts me. We have a conversation. They make it clear that they don't care. In fact, they actually like hurting me because they get a kick out of it and I'm just dirt to them.

I forgive them. Why? They certainly don't deserve it.

Self preservation. Any anger and hatred I feel for them will not hurt them. They may even revel in it.

But it may hurt me. I may become bitter, cynical, or worse. So I forgive them, for my benefit, not theirs.
