I think this is about the fact that none of us really have control of anything and we’ve all forgotten that and lost our way. We try to control everything and we act as if we’re gods and expect to be catered and bowed down to (“waiting for God to bend the knee”). We are all actually only beggars because we control so little and need so much, and our society toils on in this pursuit of a perceived power that doesn’t exist. Even the kings are beggars because they don’t control everyone and they can’t control when they love or die or so many other things, but we all live in denial of these facts and try to set ourselves up as our own gods.
