Of all the established kingdoms, this is the one at the root of evil in all the others. The evil king of that kingdom staked a claim in the human heart with Adam and Eve, and that curse has been passed down generation after generation. It's the reason we all are petty tyrants, and it's the reason we see bodies stacked like cordwood in Auschwitz and Rwanda. It has a death-grip on the world, simultaneously enslaving us and blinding us to our enslavement. We think we're free. We're not.
