long ago, there was a concept borned in this world.
a state to be ruled by a government or domain known as kingdom.
the story of my kingdom starts off wrong from the very beginning. being lost and filled with insecurities, until now, i'm not sure whether it was a mistake..
in this nation, different people has different roles to play, different skillsets to offer to the society and different level of powers to delegate or control the minorities.
everything seems pretty simple and incomplex. everyone seems happy to be doing what they do daily, from commercialized business to planting own vegetables at the back of their houses.
people get along fine. of course, minor conflicts do happen around certain people but it wasn't such a big problem. maybe i was just too naive. and being as naive as me, i have a set of beliefs and principles in life that resolves around the words; harmony, respect and friendship.
after a decade passed, things were not how i saw it before. maybe it was there all along that i was just too naive to see it. well, during the process, i anticipated and predicted it would happen. but always hope it would never happen the way it did.
all sort of discrimination was brought on by the people in power including the king. Heck, even some learned and educated were discriminating the citizens by constantly looking down on the less-skilled ones. it was as though the word 'respect' did not exist in the dictionary.
they would impose ridiculous taxes to the lower-graded job related citizens, reward their favourite pets and ignore the calls and voices of the citizens.
of course, in all governments, there are some good generals. the problem with these generals is that they're always outnumbered by the bad ones. revelation is always harder to achieve by minorities some may say and it always been proved true, sadly.
they fight, they try and they struggle for the benefits of the citizen(s) but their voices are often suppressed by the people who sit in powers.
