Loyalty to a king is misguided from "summary" of Common Sense by Thomas Paine
It is often said that loyalty to a king is a noble and honorable thing. But is it really? Many people seem to believe that their allegiance to a king is somehow sacred, something to be cherished above all else. They believe that it is their duty to serve their king faithfully and without question. But is this blind loyalty truly justified? In reality, loyalty to a king is nothing more than a misguided and dangerous form of devotion. Kings are not gods, they are not infallible. They are simply men, no different from you or I. They may have been born into a position of power, but that does not make them worthy of our undying loyalty.
In fact, history has shown time and time again that kings can be corrupt, selfish, and tyrannical. They often abuse their power, using it to oppress and exploit their own people. And yet, despite all of this, many still cling to the belief that loyalty to a king is the highest virtue.
But why? Why should we pledge our allegiance to someone who may not have our best interests at heart? Why should we follow blindly, without question or hesitation? It is a dangerous and foolish thing to do, one that can lead to untold suffering and misery.
Instead of blindly following a king, we should question authority and demand accountability. We should not be swayed by titles or positions of power, but rather by the actions and character of those who claim to lead us. Loyalty should be earned, not demanded. And blind devotion to a king should be seen for what it truly is: misguided and dangerous.
