Better To Rule In Hell Than To Serve In Heaven
A king is always king, even if the empire is small and far better than a servant of a large empire. This famous line is taken from Milton’s ‘Paradise Lost’. Satan is the king of Hell. He prefers supremacy in hell to subordination in heaven. Sovereignty is very important. Freedom of will is one of the most sought-after things in a man’s life. Man, by nature, does not like subordination to others.
Our Constitution guarantees equality for all. The Charter of the UN also has provisions for freedom from the dominance of the rich and developed over the poor and underdeveloped. Full sovereignty is guaranteed to all the nations. Why would anyone want to be a slave to others? It is because even poor and undeveloped nations cannot tolerate interference from other rich and developed countries. Such nations prefer policies of their own in spite of their limited resources. The same thing applies both to individuals and nations. Even the luxuries of heaven are of no use if one is not independent there. The most important thing is that one must be free from any dominance so that one can feel free and enjoy life in one’s own way.
