There will always be kings

The world needs order. The world needs to be organized. If the world were without social order, someone is sure to come along and line everybody up according to some criterion or other. There are those who enjoy the world as it is and there are those who cannot sit still if something is not properly ordered. This is part of the order of the universe, to have those who will keep everything ordered. Kings are an inevitability. If they did not create themselves, then other people would create them.

I guess we all crave order. We must have kings. We must have somebody telling us what to do and when that somebody we ordain as king becomes oppressive as he often will, then we rise up and kill him and his family and plunge our world into chaos and disorder. Such is the way of the world. The great pine forests of the temperate zones need fire for the old trees to give way to young stock. This is why they are as matchsticks, easy to ignite with lightning.

Ching's World does not seek to create order. That is the job of kings and politicians of ministers and armies. Ching's World is just that, a world where Ching lives, where everyone has a right to live free.
