The King... Of The Peripheries

Mankind. Humanity. Ever since the creation of man, ever since man started to discover the earth, ever since he reached every corner of the world, man has ventured out to conquer land, to develop himself and his surroundings. Over the centuries, ever since Adam and Eve, ever since the first fall of man from his Creator, man has faced the pain of suffering which is with us till this present day.

Man has always strived to improve his life, has been attentive to safeguard himself, his family, his land, his country. History has shown us how man has ruled the world. Kingdoms were set up in every continent, ruling for power, to safeguard their land, to safeguard their wealth.

Kings have come and gone. The world has seen different kings across the globe. Kings whose life is known for their good deeds to mankind, other kings who brought destruction to their kingdom.

The world has evolved, has changed. Kings are not as powerful as they used to be. Kings are much less numerous today, having less powers, because the world has developed its political systems, where nowadays Presidents and Prime Ministers have the duty of leading their countries. But still the world talks about kings. Nowadays it is more common to talk about the king of rock ‘n roll, the king of football, the king of boxing, with full admiration of their respective followers. But still, these kings reign for a time in their particular environment and eventually fade away like all other kings, and what remains is their name written and imprinted in history.

As long as planet Earth exists, kings will come and go, and all would have one thing in common: that their reign is limited for a time period, only in this world. But, as long as the planet exists, and indeed beyond that time, there will be only one King who will reign forever. This King will reign all over the entire Earth, will reign without limitations of time and borders, will reign forever and beyond the universe.

This King is the King of the peripheries.
