Welcome to the more private side of the King of GeZi World and welcome to my little empire. I would be glad if you would allow me to show you what seems to be important in here. Important to me and to others - because even me as a king - I don't want to be alone and just rule my world. I want to share it with others, give fun and happiness, and also receive it. |

The whole kingdom acquired it's general attitude from a gentleman
named Arthur Dent who traveled to the far reaches of the Universe.
And from him we learned ...
Why does a king become a king?
|
I had to ask myself this question more than once and I could not come up
with an all conclusive answer - only that it must be the ego not feeling big enough and
wanting to show off by ruling others. Good kings will treat their subjects well, bad ones might suppress them, but all the same, they somewhere must have the strange notion to rule over others. Same with politicians, they are kind of little kings (or big ones, who knows). Somehow I don't quite see why anybody would have the urge to rule over others. Looks like the people who actually would be good kings because they would give their subjects the freedom to choose their own game, usually don't have any inclination to become kings. On the other hands the less suited they are, the more they want to be kings. So I think that I'm not quite a king like that, and actually - to be honest - I'm not really a king in fact. But still, to satisfy my ego wanting to show off, look at this picture taken a while back. Always wondering - was that really me - a couple of hundred years ago? Times change and I don't wear these fancy dresses anymore. Now my favorite kind of clothing is a flight jacket, and maybe a silk scarf and goggles. That's more like me nowadays. Just keeping the title of king in this little GZ-World but trying to be a real nice guy with only one girl friend beside the Queen of GeZi World. And believe it of not, the Queen even permits me to have her. This girl friend is a young girl, born only in 1983, with very big ears, so big in fact that she can actually fly. To be with her, this king-alter-ego had to become a pilot ...

There is probably a lot still to say about me (at least I hope so), but
Mama taught me to be modest. It's
pretty hard to do but I'm trying. Thus here now my philosophical point of view to that. I have noticed that the less someone really contributes the more important it is for him to be recognized. This is understandable. It has something to do with scarcity. If we have somebody who does not even know what this word means, we can assume that he can give away easily because he knows he can create something new anytime. But the person to whom everything is scarce and who suddenly has something by a thin chance will dramatize this HAVING that he will probably make mistakes and loose it. Ever thought about the expression "I can have that"? If I can have something I am at least to some extent comfortable with it. If I can not have something I tries to keep it away with the effect that I will not have it any more soon. Somehow there must be laws in this universe that seem to make that rather difficult. It appears that the things I can have the least are the things I cannot get rid off the most; the obnoxious boss, the dear aunt, you name it. On the other hand the things that we surely could have very easily like these 5 million in the lottery, they seems to be very far away with no expectation to come any closer. My idea is that the common denominator behind both of these situations is that we can not have, I repeat NOT have. We are missing the ability to have. With the lottery, we are not really comfortable with the idea of having all this money. I mean comfortable in the sense as we are comfortable with the table we are sitting at. This is normal, we can have it. And with the nasty boss we are missing the ability to not have. This does not seem to make sense when we look at it from this angle. But imagine it from the other side. Don't we get really excited about the idea of no boss, maybe even being our own boss. Wouldn't that be nice! Do we ever think this way about the table we sit at? Guess not. Only when we can have the idea of no bad boss with the same ease and self-evidence then we will have a good chance to really have it. This goes the same way for having and not having. |

And now back to the original idea. If we are really comfortable with what
we are able to do and know, then it does not matter if others notice or appreciate it.
In other words I don't need to try to be modest. If I have to put in effort to be modest,
it indicates that there is probably nothing to be modest about and I don't have to
pretend. Life will be easier. And if there is something to be modest about, I will not
feel any need for approval from others because I know what I know. Again life is easier. That's it for now, except maybe the standard statement that this page is under construction, meaning that I will write more when I feel like it or when somebody who drops by accidentally sends me mail fertilizing my thoughts. |
