The Man Who Would Be King

[poliphilo]

We talk about it as though the important things were Iraq and the economy and things like that, but really it's about Kingship

It's tribal/feudal/religious.

Is he acceptable to God?
Is he beautiful enough?
Are the omens right?

Because if we anoint the wrong man, judgement and chaos will ensue.

Exactly. Having a soul doesn't make us human beings any pleasanter to be around- rather the reverse.

Here's a poem you may know. I forget who wrote it...

I wish I loved the human race,
I wish I loved its silly face,
And when I'm introduced to one
I wish I thought, "what jolly fun."
