DIANA, Princess of Wales

Historical Importance of Princess Diana:

Diana endeared herself to the public through her warmth and caring. As the wife of Prince Charles, Diana not only gave birth to the future British king, she became a princess of the people. Diana brought attention to worthy causes such as the elimination of AIDS and landmines. Also, through her own experiences, Diana became a role model for those who suffer from depression or bulimia.

 

Overview of Diana, Princess of Wales:

Diana was born in 1961 as the third daughter of Edward John Spencer and his wife Frances Ruth Burke Roche. Diana grew up in a very privileged family that had a long history of close ties with the royal family. When Diana's paternal grandfather passed away in 1975, Diana's father became the 8th Earl of Spencer and Diana gained the title of "Lady."

In 1969, Diana's parents divorced. Her mother's affair helped the court decide to give custody of the couple's four children to Diana's father. Both of her parents eventually remarried, but the divorce left an emotional scar on Diana.

Diana attended school at West Heath in Kent and then spent a short time at a finishing school in Switzerland. Although she was not an excellent student academically, her determined personality, caring nature, and cheerful outlook helped her through it. After returning from Switzerland, Diana rented an apartment with two friends, worked with children at the Young England Kindergarten, and watched movies and visited restaurants in her free time.

It was about this time that Prince Charles, in his early 30s, was under increasing pressure to choose a wife. Diana's vibrancy, cheerfulness, and good family background caught the attention of Prince Charles and the two began dating in mid-1980. It was a whirlwind romance for on February 24, 1981, Buckingham Palace officially announced the couple's engagement. At the time, Lady Diana and Prince Charles seemed truly in love and the whole world was awed by what seemed like a fairytale romance.

It was the wedding of the decade; nearly 3,500 people attended and approximately 750 million people from around the world watched it on television. To the envy of young women everywhere, Lady Diana married Prince Charles on July 29, 1981 at St. Paul's Cathedral.

Less than a year after the wedding, Diana gave birth to William Arthur Philip Louis on June 21, 1982. Two years after William was born, Diana gave birth to Henry ("Harry") Charles Albert David on September 15, 1984.

While Diana quickly gained the love and appreciation of the public, there were definitely problems in her marriage by the time Prince Harry was born.

The stresses of Diana's numerous new roles (including wife, mother, and princess) were overwhelming. These pressures plus the extreme media coverage and post-natal depression, left Diana lonely and depressed.

Although she tried to maintain a positive public persona, at home she was crying out for help. Diana suffered from bulimia, cut herself on her arms and legs, and made several suicide attempts.

Prince Charles, who was jealous of Diana's extra media attention and unprepared to handle her depression and self-destructive behavior, quickly started to drift away from her. This led Diana to spend the mid- to late-1980s, unhappy, lonely, and depressed.

During these lonely years, Diana tried to find a place for herself. She had become what many describe as the most photographed woman in the world. The public loved her, which meant that the media followed her everywhere she went and commented on everything she wore, said, or did.

Diana found that her presence comforted many who were sick or dying. She dedicated herself to a number of causes, most especially to the elimination of AIDS and landmines. In 1987, when Diana became the first famous person to be photographed touching someone with AIDS, she made a huge impact in dissolving the myth that AIDS could be contracted merely by touch.

In December 1992, a formal separation was announced between Diana and Charles and in 1996, a divorce was agreed to which was finalized on August 28. In the settlement, Diana was given $28 million, plus $600,000 per year but she was to give up the title, "Her Royal Highness."

Diana's hard-won freedom did not last long. On August 31, 1997, Diana was riding in a Mercedes with her boyfriend (Dodi Al Fayed), bodyguard, and chauffer when the car crashed into a pillar of the tunnel under the Pont de l'Alma bridge in Paris while fleeing from paparazzi. Diana, age 36, died on the operating table at the hospital. Her tragic death shocked the world.

Initially, the public blamed the paparazzi for the accident. However, further investigation proved that the primary cause of the accident was that the chauffer had been driving under the influence of both drugs and alcohol.

Wise Sayings about Love

There is only one kind of love, but there are thousands of different copies. - French Proverb

Love doesn't make the world go 'round. Love is what makes the ride worthwhile. - Franklin P. Jones

Love is like water; we can fall in it, we can drown in it and we can't live without it. - Unknown

When a man of forty falls in love with a girl of twenty, it isn't her youth he is seeking but his own. - Lenore Coffee

The greatest weakness of most humans is their hesitancy to tell others how much they love them while they're still alive. - Orlando A. Battista

If you have it [love], you don't need to have anything else, and if you don't have it, it doesn't matter much what else you have. - Sir James M. Barrie

When we are motivated by goals that have deep meaning, by dreams that need completion, by pure love that needs expressing, then we truly live life. - Greg Anderson

Every heart sings a song, incomplete, until another heart whispers back. Those who wish to sing always find a song. At the touch of a lover, everyone becomes a poet. - Plato

It is probably not love that makes the world go around, but rather those mutually supportive alliances through which partners recognize their dependence on each other for the achievement of shared and private goals. - Fred Allen

Young love is a flame; very pretty, often very hot and fierce, but still only light and flickering. The love of the older and disciplined heart is as coals, deep-burning, unquenchable. - Henry Ward Beecher

To fall in love is easy, even to remain in it is not difficult; our human loneliness is cause enough. But it is a hard quest worth making to find a comrade through whose steady presence one becomes steadily the person one desires to be. - Anna Louise Strong

Bahaya Merokok

Inner Power. Kayaknya sih, sampai hari ini blom ditemukan dampak bagus dari merokok kecuali bagi produsen dan pedadangnya. Meskipun sudah banyak himbauan dan peringatan akan bahayanya, tetapi tetap saja kita orang pada merokok. Alasannya untuk mendapatlan kenikmatan. Bukannya masih ada cara lain yang lebih aman untuk memacu otak dan mendapatkan kenikmatan di luar kebiasaan merokok? Tar, Nikotin, zat dan gas kimia yang dikandung rokok sudah menjadi rahasia umum berpotensi membenihkan sekian penyakit. Di bungkusnya saja sudah ada peringatannya. Lagian komposisi bahan kimia yang ditambahkan untuk menambah laju masuknya nikotin ke otak (agar rasa nikmat lebih cepat terasa) berpotensi membahayakan perokok itu sendiri.
Saat ini di pasaran emang banyak ditemui rokok “Mild” atau “Rokok Ringan” yang mengklaim memiliki kandungan Tar dan Nikotin lebih rendah. Tetapi tetap saja gas yang ditimbulkan sebagai efek samping merokok berpotensi membahayakan bagi si perokok (aktif) dan bagi orang disekitamya (pasif).
Banyak terdapat penyakit kaum perokok. Menurut penelitian ada 10 tipe kanker yang disebabkan oleh rokok. Nah lo. Selain itu disebutkan juga bahwa pria perokok akan meninggal 13,2 tahun lebih muda dibandingkan yang bukan perokok sedangkan wanita perokok meninggal 14,5 tahun lebih muda.
Merokok dapat menyebabkan kanker mulut, pita suara dan esofagus. Wanita perokok memiliki kemungkinan 13 kali lebih tinggi kena kanker paru paru dibanding yang tidak merokok. Sedangkan pria perokok 23 kali lebih tinggi terkena kanker paru paru dibanding yang tidak merokok.
Kanker perut dan lambung, kanker ginjal, kanker pankreas, bila fatal dapat menyebabkan diabetes mellitus I kencing manis, kanker leher rahim, kangker darah/Leukemia. Weleh!
Perokok beresiko 3 kali lebih tinggi menderita katarak yang dapat menyebabkan kebutaan. Rokok dapat menjadi penyebab utama terjadinya stroke dan kerusakan otak. Perokok beresiko 10 kali lebih tinggi menderita periodontitis (gusi terbakar yang mengarah ke infeksi) sehingga dapat merusak jaringan halus dari tulang.
Dampak lainnya dapat terjadi pneumonia, bronchitis, asthma, batuk kronis, gagal jantung, serangan jantung, hipertensi, dan stroke. Kemandulan, bayi lahir prematur, bayi lahir berat badan kurang (BBLR) dan ganguan pernapasan. Keren keren namanya ya, Bro?
Untuk mencegah dampak buruk dari masuk dan tertimbunya bahan berbahaya rokok ke dalam saluran pernapasan, sebaiknya perokok mengkonsumsi sumber sumber Chlorophyl dan antioxidan secara teratur. Tidak lupa tentunya saran yang paling tepat adalah mulai berubah, mengurangi, dan menghilangkan kebiasaan hidup yang kurang baik seperti merokok.
