A King is a servant a President a ruler

A King is a servant a President a ruler

To generalize life and humans falls always short of the final truth but can be used and seen as the truth by which nations have a meaningful understanding as a guidance to live life well.

As the Archbishop of Canterbury during the Coronation Ceremony today of King Charles III demonstrated so clearly a true King stands in fellowship with Jesus Christ and his tradition to serve not to rule. While Jesus Christ served the Kingdom of the Almighty God King Charles III reigns over the UK and other territories as well as being the head of the Commonwealth.

In History, many Kings did not follow their given promises to their people having faced the consequences. In the institution of Monarchy, the underlying truth and promise still are valid after all.

Presidents regardless of whether ruling or representative roles dedicate a few years of their life to their people. In most cases, Presidents want to demonstrate their capability by showing off their ego not always intending to harm most of the good. A King does not have to prove himself but is what he is once crowned the King. Even in modern Democracies Kings don't need to explain themselves but to be themselves in the service to their nations. This is valid until the nation decides otherwise.

Presidents constantly have to justify and explain their words and actions. Only rulers need to do this constantly the be kept in power by the people.
