I’m just curious if anyone understands the symbolism of King Charles latest portrait. I am a noob with regards to this sort of stuff. If anyone can enlighten me on the meaning of all the “red”, I’d appreciate it. I’m aware the obvious meaning is blood. But in what context?

      It’s really not fair. Nobody is cut from a different cloth. We all would have done what they did. The reason we think we wouldn’t is because we take for granted what we know. Even then, we take for granted we think we know better, but they have to deal with poisoned fruit and there’s no legal system above them to protect them.
