A Beggar's Queen First and Foremost
I would rather be a beggar and single than a queen and married.
—Elizabeth I (1533-1603)

Diogenes Syndrome Fit for a Queen - A planksip Prognosis
A Beggar's Queen First and Foremost
Inspired by Elizabeth I's (1533-1603) quote, "I would rather be a beggar and single than a queen and married". "A Beggar's Queen First and Foremost" is encouraging the wisdom of the dog philosopher; Diogenes of Sinope, otherwise known as Diogenes the Cynic. The titled responsion is associating the wisdom (anchored in Diogenes) with that of the Virgin Queen's woes me. So sad!
Prognosis aside, the corrective course of action is to not dwell on the past but on the current circumstance. And yet the transmission of this felt experience would not exist in our myelinated culture. What is it about this association that is meaningful to you, the Queen and that cynic from Sinope?
