The rise and fall of a great man

Kingdoms come and goes and Empires will eventually fall. But what history has taught us is that besides all, it has always been a man behind the story, behind the battle that took them all.

Sometimes I belive that the battles continues to this day. Maybe not on the field but in our homes, schools, jobs, cities and between ourselves. Now you may be thinking of why I compare the old kingdoms and empires with todays society. But it is very similar actually. They had Julius Ceasar, Alexander the Great, The British Empire, Queen Elisabeth I, Napoleon and today we have politicians and presidents, governments and prime ministers. The only difference is how the battles gets settled.

We all are slaves to the more highly placed people. Or at least they think they are. I can sometimes feel all bruised up in the morning with not even a slight chance of getting my body work correctly and when I read the morning paper I see despair and death mixed with births and joy. That is the world we all live in but probably it´s nothing the people who think that they run this planet cares about. Those who decides what´s going to happen with our lives. Choosing between life and death and be the morality they think we are all missing. Just as the Romans thought that they where gods gift to man so has the self-proclaimed rulers of today the same belief even if they don´t say it out loud.

Perhaps we are not ready to be knowledge of some things, of what is happening on our beloved Earth. But one day we might. And on that day the Empires of today will fall. And with it, a new will rise again. Probably not for the better I´m afraid. We have all our history but we haven´t learned one thing from it. We only adjust it a little bit so it fits our way of life today but the end is always the same.

It will certainly exist a man behind our story as well and he or she will rise above them all, but in the end he or she will fall with them just as every other great man in history. This is the rise and fall of a great man.
