    The story of King Canute is one taught in schools over the years.
    A lesson that no matter how powerful one might believe oneself to be, every being
    has their limitations.
    King Canute reigned in England from 1017 till 1035, when one day he demanded the sea to recede and he got his feet wet! He then made a declaration
    This should be a lesson for the powerful Leaders in the World

    I thought you would never ask........
    " Let all the world know that the power of Kings is empty and worthless and there is no King worthy of the name, save him by whose will, Heaven Earth and the Sea obey eternal Laws"
    His folly or wisdom is a lesson some World leaders would do well to heed.

    Everyone knows most Kings of the last Century maybe last 2 or 3 centuries. Very few know of (Mansa Musa) The Man whom has held the most wealth than anyone else in history! No Country even teaches the fact in History class. Another lesson. Anyone's life History can be swept under a rug if it does not serve those whom write it.
