HELLO WORLD, THIS IS MY 40TH ARTICLE!

The Royals have been around for so long; they have done so much, both positive and negative. We humans take time to evolve, but eventually, we would always will someday.  From the tribal leaders to the Kings and the Queens to the Presidents and the Prime Ministers, and that won’t be it; soon, when it’s time for the evolution, we will then evolve. They are the big shots who were involved in the making of so many things that have happened, to always having their names on the history book. Some were humble yet strong and mighty, while some were cruel and inevitably evil that they did not even make it to the book. Some brought peace while the others went to wars, some were different and was rewarded with honour and fame throughout their lives. Each and everyone of them were and are different, that’s why we all are changing and have never stopped looking for more. They were always considered as strong people, if not physically, then mentally, or sometimes; both! They are always on top of everyone, and intentionally made the top to help out and fix everything that are meant to be fixed.

We are meant to respect them for what they’ve done for the country you’re living in; and in some rare cases, the world you’re living in. Some were not that good, didn’t complete their jobs well and was eliminated, because wearing the crown was not meant to be all sweet and fun. When they are good enough to wear that crown on your head, they have to be perfect in whatever they are doing, their plans and techniques on making their country better and better. They have to have the feeling of ‘being a King or Queen’, then that’s when everything goes the rite way. These guys didn’t have the ‘to mess up’ option in their mindset, that’s one of the few things they just cannot afford to do at all. Only few had egos, like a very strong and positive one, the ego that made people respect and love them, instead of the hatred and being extremely scared of them. They were treated like Gods and Goddess, the people knew what they had to do and returned the favors back pretty well.

It’s the Royal Birthday, the whole country deserves a day off and they do. I don’t think anyone would dare to disrespect or violate the rules and come on… why would anyone do that? It’s a holiday! It would be a great holiday for all, sometimes the holiday would eat up the whole week and that doesn’t happen that often; but when it does, Phnom Penh will be emptied and everyone will be on their way out to provinces.

No one really knows what happens after the usual celebration when see on the TV every year, we just never know what happened behind the closed doors. To be honest, I really think the royalties are just regular people, they are just like us; it’s just that they have a heavier responsibility and definitely a better sense of what they are doing. Although we don’t really know whether they would just jump straight into their work rite after the celebration ends or just hanging there having fun and eating and partying, in either ways, they’re both good.

We must carry on this holiday, not just because it has to be carried on, but also for the sake of the advantages both sides will be gaining from. Having a King is already something rare to have these days, we must respect that fact and the tradition and culture that goes behind it.  We, the people, the citizens of Cambodia, are the small particles of unity. And he, the majesty, is the symbol of unity, he united the whole nation and will keep it that way as long as possible.

There’s more definitions and examples to the word ‘King’, then the King himself. The word ‘King’, can most of the time, refer to a certain person whose personality is strong and solid in a way that makes that person hard to be hated. That person does not use that personality for just specific reasons, that personality defines that person, and he/she breaths that attitude. A person that can be labeled as a ‘King’ isn’t just everyone, you have to earn that label, and the requirements are there to trip you on the way. Brave, confident, outspoken, charismatically explicit, in my opinion, with those qualities not being “too much”, you’re good to go.
