Manners
Dos and Don’ts in Photos
Don't strike ridiculous poses in public
In the photos on this page we see Prince Charles, the heir to the Throne of England, in two ridiculous poses. Above, he visits a children's playground; below, he attends a bed and mattress exposition.He imagines that joking around like this makes him more popular, but the result is actually the opposite. Authentic people expect their superiors to be respectable, persons they can admire, and not jokers. The ones who follow clowns and jesters are superficial, changeable persons who do not represent the organic aspirations that give a nation real stability.
To take ridiculous poses in public is a good policy neither for nobles nor commoners. No one who values his dignity should debase himself in this way.
Don't strike ridiculous poses in public.
