Is it for name, fame and money that Paul Burell, the royal butler, penned a controversial account of his time serving late Princess Diana in his book "The Royal Duty."

It is gathered that nearly two million copies of the book went on sale in the United States and the United Kingdom.

Since Princess Diana is dead, there is every scope for raising doubt about the accuracy of Burell's account. Burell must have done this to tarnish the image of the late Princess who was, and still is, admired by people all over the world for her great human qualities. And I support Prince William and Prince Harry who accused Burell of 'cold and overt betrayal' of their mother.

It's unfortunate but true that the number of good human is diminishing fast because the few people are facing great constraints to protect others. If this situation is not changed, the entire civilisation would be destroyed. Let good people live with goodness.
